SYDNEY, Nov 16 (Reuters) - Queensland teenager Luke Morahan has been added to the Wallabies squad in Britain as a replacement for the injured Stirling Mortlock.

The uncapped 19-year-old will join the Australians in Edinburgh before this weekend's test against Scotland and will remain with the squad for next week's midweek match against Cardiff and the final international against Wales.

Mortlock was originally picked for the tour but was ruled out after aggravating a leg injury while training in Australia.

After beating England earlier this month, Australia's bid for a grand slam over the four home nations was dashed on Sunday by Ireland who scored a last-gasp try for a 20-20 draw at Croke Park.
