Australia name team to face Wales

Australia coach Michael Cheika has announced his team for the Pool D match against Wales in Tokyo Stadium on Sunday, 29 September.

Australia have made four changes to the XV that started against Fiji. Genia, Bernard Foley, Ashley-Cooper, and Dane Haylett-Petty all start. Genia and Haylett-Petty began on the bench against Fiji, while Foley and Ashley-Cooper did not make the 23.

Adam Ashley-Cooper is just the second Wallaby to be involved in four RWCs after George Gregan. This will be his 18th career RWC match, the most by any player at RWC 2019.
