Suliasi Vunivalu and Ben Donaldson will get the chance to justify their World Cup selections after being named for Australia’s final warm-up game.
Suliasi Vunivalu and Ben Donaldson will get the chance to justify contentious World Cup selection after Eddie Jones named both in a largely settled Wallabies side to take on France in the final warm-up game for both sides on Monday morning .
Will Skelton will captain the side for the first time in a forward pack that is also almost unchanged, apart from Taniela Tupou returning from a rib injury at tighthead prop. He replaces Pone Fa’amausili. Langi Gleeson, who has struggled with a knee injury this year, will get his first opportunity in a Wallabies jersey since starting in the gold No.8 against Wales on the final game of the spring tour last year.
“Every Test we play is important and every Test we play we want to win. But like for all international teams this year, there is the context of the World Cup so I think you have seen even though we haven’t managed to get a win, you have seen the team progress over the last few months,” Palmer said.
