June 9 2016

Marland Yarde is celebrating after getting the nod ahead of Jack Nowell for Saturday's opener down under ...

Owen Farrell is also back at the expense of George Ford as the Jones' Boys set themselves up to dominate the hosts in the physical battles. The Aussies say a bit of bodyline never bothered them.

The England pack is the same olner which finished the Six Nations against France, which means Robshaw starts at blindside.

 Michael Cheika has named three debutants in his team and they're all big lads. Centre Samu Kerevi, lock Rory Arnold and winger Dane Haylett-Petty will all  start.

England: Mike Brown, Anthony Watson, Jonathan Joseph, Luther Burrell,  Marland Yarde, Owen Farrell, Ben Youngs, Mako Vunipola, Dylan Hartley (captain), Dan Cole, Maro Itoje, George Kruis, Chris Robshaw, James Haskell, Billy Vunipola.

Reps: Luke Cowan-Dickie,, Matt Mullan, Paul Hill, Joe Launchbury, Courtney Lawes, Danny Care, George Ford, Jack Nowell.

Australia:: Israel Folau; Dane Haylett-Petty, Tevita Kuridrani, Samu Kerevi, Rob Horne; Bernard Foley, Nick Phipps; Scott Sio, Stephen Moore (captain), Greg Holmes, Rory Arnold, Rob Simmons, Scott Fardy, Michael Hooper, David Pocock.

Reps: Tatafu Polota-Nau, James Slipper, Sekope Kepu, James Horwill, Dean Mumm, Sean McMahon, Nick Frisby, Christian Lealiifano

All's well if it goes well, however, should Pocock and Hooper boss the breakdown, as they did in the World Cup, then we haven't got the bench to counter that.
