Suliasi Vunivalu's highly anticipated Wallabies debut has been delayed again by a recurring hamstring injury that has Australian rugby scratching its head.

The two-time NRL premiership winger with Melbourne has been impressive in his brief appearances so far, Queensland Reds coach and dual international Brad Thorn claiming he's done it better than anyone he's seen.

But three separate hamstring injuries, the most recent coming last week as he prepared to enter Wallabies camp for the Rugby Championship, have restricted him to just eight Super Rugby games.

Vunivalu had surgery after a second hamstring tear towards the end of the Super Rugby Trans-Tasman season that ruled him out of three Tests against France and the three-Test Bledisloe Cup series.

The Wallabies will play the Springboks at 10.05pm this Sunday while the All Blacks face Argentina at 7.05pm Sunday.
