Ewen McKenzie has announced his team to face France this weekend.
McKenzie has decided to go with the halves pairing of White and Foley rather than Genia and Beale. McKenzie justified his decision saying, “Nic and Bernard are two players who have had a huge influence in the results of their provincial teams over the past two seasons”. Foley is also set to be the goal kicker.
Sam Carter is also expected to make his debut after earning a starting lock position whilst James Horwill has been named on the bench.
Will Genia and Scott Higginbotham are notable omissions from the match day 23.
James Slipper and Wycliff Palu are also set to earn their 50th test cap.
