AUSTRALIA COACH JOE Schmidt has made eight changes to his side to play England at Twickenham on Saturday, with Joseph-Aukuso Suaalii, Max Jorgensen and Taniela Tupou recalled following last weekend’s win over Japan in Tokyo.
Former rugby league star Suaalii’s inclusion sees him returning to the scene of his Test debut last year, a match where Jorgensen’s try with the last play of the game sealed a dramatic 42-37 win for Australia.
Suaalii takes his spot at outside centre alongside Hunter Paisami, with Len Ikitau, who plays his club rugby for English side Exeter, still unavailable as this match takes place outside the international window.

Jorgensen partners Harry Potter on the wing, with Andrew Kellaway retaining his place at full-back.
Regular captain Harry Wilson returns to the back row with Nick Champion de Crespigny, last week’s skipper, among the replacements.
Elsewhere in the forwards, Tupou and Billy Pollard reunite in the front row.
Nick Frost and Jeremy Williams link up once again as the two locks, with Lukhan Salakaia-Loto overcoming a rib injury to feature on the bench.
