Nick Cummins has replaced Henry Speight in the Wallabies' train-on squad for the Rugby Championship, with the Brumbies winger granted compassionate leave.

Speight, who was suspended from the opening two Tests of the Championship, will return home to Fiji following the death of his grandfather.

Cummins and the 40-man Wallabies squad arrived in Caloundra on the Sunshine Coast on Sunday night for a five-day camp ahead of the opening game of the Rugby Championship against South Africa in Brisbane on July 18.
