Australia are playing for their World Cup lives in Saint Etienne on Sunday but know that they could have been already eliminated before taking to the field, if Fiji beat Georgia with a bonus point on Saturday.
SAINT-GALMIER - Under-fire Australia coach Eddie Jones on Friday said he had picked his "best 23" for the Wallabies' final Rugby World Cup Pool C clash against Portugal, making just three changes to his starting line-up.
"They're a really good bunch of young players and their application to wanting to be better has been fantastic." After losing seven of his eight matches since returning to the national team fold, Jones is in desperate need of a morale-boosting victory. "Samu has probably been a little bit off, he's had a tough run-in to the World Cup coming back from ACL , two hamstring injuries," said Jones."He's fit now but again, with Izzie he's trained really well the whole World Cup and we feel both of those guys can do a really good job for us against Portugal."
