Wallabies squad to face Scotland

Wallabies squad to face Scotland

Taniela Tupou has been thrown straight into the Wallabies 23 just two days after becoming eligible for Test duty.

Tupou joined the squad last week in London, after the NRC season wrapped, and has done enough to impress coach Michael Cheika in his training sessions.

 

Former skipper Stephen Moore will start in his final rugby match, with Tatafu Polota-Nau on the bench.

Ben McCalman will start at six in place of injured Ned Hanigan, with Lukhan Tui cleared of a hamstring injury to play off the bench, and Matt Philip dropping out.


Tetera Faulkner replaces Allan Alaalatoa in the replacement loosehead spot.
