23 Kurtley Beale (88 Tests)Will Genia and Bernard Foley will re-unite in the halves while Dane Haylett-Petty will wear the number 15 jersey as Kurtley Beale shifts to the bench. Adam Ashley-Cooper replaces Reece Hodge on the right wing, in what will be the 35-year old’s 120th Test match and his 18th Rugby World Cup game. Ashley-Cooper has started in all 17 of his previous World Cup games, spanning from 2007 to 2015, having won 13. It’s a milestone match for centre James O’Connor who will bring up his 50th Test cap when he runs out against Wales, almost 11 years on from making his International debut against Italy on the 2008 Spring Tour. The clash with Wales will also mark Australia’s 50th Rugby World Cup game as they become just the second nation to achieve the feat behind New Zealand (51).

should just name Pocock and Hooper joint Captains....

Word is "cumulative fatigue" on Lealiifano - after getting snotted by Fiji, and giving up goal kicking during the game, I get the feeling he's not right.
The forwards haven't changed, which is the important bit. The backs have had what I'd call the necessary changes, tho Old Man AAC will have his work cut out with that Amos bloke.
North v Koroibete will be worth the price of admission alone.
