Huge blow.
Michael Cheika will be unable to call on scrumhalf Will Genia for Australia’s crucial series decider with Ireland in Sydney next week, after he broke his arm in this morning’s second Test defeat.
Genia was forced off in the second-half after a big hit from Ireland prop Cian Healy and will undergo surgery. It’s a huge blow for the Wallabies, with Genia in superb form this season.

Australia not happy with Cian Healy's role in Will Genia's departure from the game. Won't report it, but Michael Cheika described it as a "king hit", which roughly translates into a cheap shot in these parts or so I'm told

He played a key role in the opening Test win, and was clearly missed when he went off this morning.
Ireland meanwhile look set to head into the third and final Test with a clean bill of health, having come out of this morning’s game in Melbourne unscathed.
