The Wallabies have made two changes to their bench for the Rugby World Cup clash with Georgia, with Michael Hooper among the two players omitted at the 11th hour.
Regular captain Hooper will be deprived his 99th cap after being withdrawn because of “general soreness” while Adam Coleman is missing Friday’s game in Shizuoka for the same reason.
Their places are taken by flanker Lukhan Salakaia-Loto and Rob Simmons, with the latter poised to play his 100th Test.
Wallabies side to face Georgia (15-1)
Kurtley Beale, Jordan Petaia, James O’Connor, Samu Kerevi, Marika Koroibete, Matt To’omua, Nic White, Isi Naisarani, David Pocock (capt), Jack Dempsey, Rory Arnold, Izack Rodda, Sekope Kepu, Tolu Latu, Scott Sio.
Reserves: Jordan Uelese, James Slipper, Taniela Tupou, Rob Simmons, Lukhan Salakaia-Loto, Will Genia, Christian Lealiifano, Dane Haylett-Petty.
