 Key points/Observations:

• In the Australia/Uruguay pool match last rugby world cup Dean Mumm captained the side and scored a match sealing try on his way to a famous 65 – 3 victory.
• Jordan Petaia will make his starting debut, the first Australian to do so in a world cup since Berrick Barnes in 2007, that year we went on to lose to England in the quarter finals.
• White and Lealiifano have been brought back into the starting half positions after being dropped after the match against Fiji.
• Toomua has taken Kerevi’s inside centre position for this match with the latter resting his forearm.
• There is a whole raft of players named to get their first 2019 world cup minutes: Fainga’a, Dempsey, Tupou, Petaia, Kuridrani & Simmons, who will be running out in his 99th test.
• Rested players are: Sio, Latu, Foley, Rodda, Naisarani, Kerevi & Koroibete.
• The only players to have been named to start in all three tests so far are Hooper and Alaalatoa.
• Kepu will be covering loosehead prop from the bench.
• The Wallabies will run out in their alternate strip of indigenous design, the first time they have done so in a world cup.
• Beale has been given another fullback start with Haylett-Petty moving to the right wing. Beale is Australia’s most recognised indigenous rugby player and it will be his second time wearing such a strip, the first time was a magical victory over New Zealand 23 – 18 in 2017.
• This is the penultimate game of Hodge’s suspension.
