Wallabies: Kurtley Beale, James O'Connor, Adam Ashley-Cooper, Pat McCabe, Digby Ioane, Quade Cooper, Will Genia, Scott Higginbotham, David Pocock, Rocky Elsom (capt), James Horwill, Nathan Sharpe, Ben Alexander, Stephen Moore, Sekope Kepu. Reserves: Saia Faingaa, Salesi Ma'afu, Sitaleki Timani, Radike Samo, Ben McCalman, Luke Burgess, Anthony Faingaa.
Two changes as predicted: Higginbotham for McCalman, and Sharpe for the injured Simmons. I'm not convinced about the make-up of the loose-forward trio as both Elsom and Higginbotham play a very similar game (though Higginbotham is certainly playing it a lot better than Elsom at the moment). They both like to run out wide, but I'm not convinced either does enough work in the tight, or at the breakdown.
Interesting to see Australia has gone back to a 5/2 split on the bench - I'm not sure the reason for this as Samo and McCalman both cover multiple positions. I feel they would be better off with a traditional 4/3 split, or at least put a backup openside flanker on the bench (I suppose it would have to be Hodgson, as I don't think Robinson is on tour?).
