Farah flies home due to family illness

Australia hooker Robbie Farah, who is yet to feature in the Kangaroos' Four Nations campaign, has returned to Sydney from Europe due to a family illness.
Farah flew to Berlin with 16 of his team-mates after the players were given three days off by coach Tim Sheens and landed in Australia on Monday morning after jetting out of Germany on Sunday.
The Wests Tigers skipper posted a message on Twitter on Monday morning, which said: "I love you mum", but team officials only confirmed the news later that evening.
Farah was due to start the game against Wales on Sunday in Wrexham, with regular rake Cameron Smith likely to have been rested.
Cooper Cronk, who has come off the bench in the opening two games, will back-up Smith for the rest of the tour although it is unknown if Farah will return for the final in Leeds on November 19.
