Australia head coach Robbie Deans has made two enforced changes to his side for Saturday’s Test against Ireland in Brisbane.
Winger Digby Ioane and scrum-half Will Genia are ruled out with shoulder and hand injuries respectively, so Adam Ashley-Cooper and Luke Burgess (main picture) return to the side.
It means that Deans has again kept faith with the front row of Ben Daley, Saia Faingaa and Salesi Ma’afu, who have struggled in two Tests against England over the past ten days.
Kurtley Beale and Josh Valentine take their places among the replacements.
Australia (v. Ireland, 26/6/2010): James O’Connor; Drew Mitchell, Rob Horne, Matt Giteau, Adam Ashley-Cooper; Quade Cooper, Luke Burgess; Ben Daley, Saia Faingaa, Salesi Ma’afu; Dean Mumm, Nathan Sharpe; Rocky Elsom, David Pocock, Richard Brown.
Replacements: Huia Edmonds, James Slipper, Mark Chisholm, Matt Hodgson, Josh Valentine, Berrick Barnes, Kurtley Beale.
