Wallabies coach Robbie Deans has made just two injury-enforced changes to his starting line-up for Saturday’s rugby Test against Ireland.
Adam Ashley-Cooper is promoted from the bench to the wing for the Suncorp Stadium match in place of Digby Ioane who suffered a shoulder injury in the 21-20 second Test loss to England in Sydney last weekend.
And Luke Burgess returns at halfback for Will Genia who is out with a broken hand from that England clash.
Josh Valentine comes onto the bench as back up halfback along with utility back Kurtley Beale.
Wallabies: James O’Connor, Adam Ashley-Cooper, Rob Horne, Matt Giteau, Drew Mitchell, Quade Cooper, Luke Burgess; Richard Brown, David Pocock, Rocky Elsom (capt), Nathan Sharpe, Dean Mumm, Salesi Ma’afu, Saia Faingaa, Ben Daley. Res: Huia Edmonds, James Slipper, Mark Chisholm, Matt Hodgson, Josh Valentine, Berrick Barnes, Kurtley Beale.
