Deans makes three changes

by Admin , 02 September 2010

Robbie Deans has brought in Stephen Moore, Ben McCalman and Mark Chisholm to his Australian side to face South Africa.


The trio are all included in the starting XV for Saturday's Tri-Nations clash in Bloemfontein with hooker Moore, number eight McCalman and Lock Chisolm all given the chance to impress.

The Wallabies coach has moved to make the changes to his starting XV following the Wallabies' 44-31 defeat against the same opposition in Pretoria last weekend.

The changes have resulted in Dean Mumm, Saia Faingaa and Richard Brown dropping to the bench, while loose forward Scott Higginbotham has been axed from the 22-man squad altogether.

Australia: Kurtley Beale; James O’Connor, Adam Ashley-Cooper, Matt Giteau, Drew Mitchell; Quade Cooper, Will Genia; Benn Robinson, Stephen Moore, Salesi Ma’afu; Mark Chisholm; Rocky Elsom (capt), David Pocock, Ben McCalman.

Replacements: Saia Fainga’a, James Slipperm, Dean Mumm, Richard Brown, Luke Burgess, Berrick Barnes, Anthony Fainga’a.
