Wallabies standby forward Scott Higginbotham will arrive in London on Sunday (EDT) for the final two games of Australia's European tour against Italy and Wales.

Higginbotham will replace suspended reserve lock Rob Simmons who copped eight weeks for a lifting tackle against France.

Melbourne Rebels recruit Higginbotham would have been a definite starter on the tour but was unavailable for the opening two matches due to a suspension incurred for striking All Blacks skipper Richie McCaw.

Higginbotham is available for the third leg of the tour against Italy in Florence on Saturday week and then the following week against the Welsh in Cardiff.

The Wallabies are set to appeal the severity of the Simmons's ban and have 48 hours to do so from the time they receive the written verdict.

But as of Friday in London, they had not received it.

Starting second-rower Kane Douglas, who was ruled out of Sunday's (EDT) Test with England, remains in doubt for the remainder of the tour with a knee injury.

He will be assessed before the squad travels to Florence.


Watch the Wallabies take on England LIVE, 1.30am (EDT) Sunday on Fox Sports 3HD.
