More bad news for the Australian team ahead of Saturday's second test against the Lions. A warrant has been issued for the arrest of winger Digby Ioane after he failed to appear in court to answer a charge of assault.
The alleged incident happened on March 9th at the Prahran Hotel in Melbourne following a win for Ioane's Queensland Reds team over the Melbourne Rebels in the Super 15.
The Australian back line had already been hit hard with injuries during Saturday's loss to the Lions.
