TOKYO : Australia coach Joe Schmidt will consider calling up reinforcements ahead of next week's clash with England after forwards Josh Canham and Lukhan Salakaia-Loto sustained injuries in the Wallabies' 19-15 win over Japan in Tokyo on Saturday.

Tries from captain Nick Champion de Crespigny, Josh Flook and Carlo Tizzano gave a much-changed Australia a winning start to their autumn internationals series at a rain-soaked National Stadium but victory came at a price.

Salakaia-Loto lasted just six minutes until he was replaced by Canham, who only played for 15 minutes before being substituted too due to injury, forcing Champion de Crespigny to fill in for the remainder of the match at lock.

"England have a strong pack," said Schmidt, whose team face their hosts at Twickenham on Saturday.
