Wallabies opt for consistency

Wallabies lock Adam Coleman Wallabies opt for consistency
Published on August 15, 2019

Adam Coleman will start in the only change to the Wallabies’ starting lineup for their Bledisloe Cup match against the All Blacks in Auckland on Saturday.

Wallabies coach Michael Cheika has kept the match-day 23 relatively unchanged from the one that posted a record-breaking win over New Zealand last weekend.

Coleman comes into the starting lineup for Rory Arnold, who misses out with a hand injury.

There are a few further changes on the bench as Rob Simmons is named as second-row cover while flank Liam Wright could make his Test debut.

Wallabies veteran Adam Ashley-Cooper is also on the bench and could win his 118th Test cap, making him the 16th most-capped player of all time.

David Pocock remains out as he continues his rehab from a knee injury.

Wallabies – 15 Kurtley Beale, 14 Reece Hodge, 13 James O’Connor, 12 Samu Kerevi, 11 Marika Koroibete, 10 Christian Leali’ifano, 9 Nic White, 8 Isi Naisarani, 7 Michael Hooper (c), 6 Lukhan Salakaia-Loto, 5 Adam Coleman, 4 Izack Rodda, 3 Allan Alaalatoa, 2 Tolu Latu, 1 Scott Sio.
Subs: 16 Folau Fainga’a, 17 James Slipper, 18 Taniela Tupou, 19 Rob Simmons, 20 Liam Wright, 21 Will Genia, 22 Matt Toomua, 23 Adam Ashley-Cooper.
