All the team news ahead of the All Blacks' bid to wrap up a fourth consecutive Rugby Championship title:
22-YEAR-OLD out-half Carter Gordon will make his first start for Australia in Saturday’s Rugby Championship clash with New Zealand in Melbourne [KO 10.45am Irish time, Sky Sports Action].
Australia head coach Eddie Jones has handed Gordon the reins as he seeks his first win since taking over, with the experience Quade Cooper dropping to the bench. Gordon is part of an all-new halfback pairing, with 24-year-old Tate McDermott replacing Nic White at scrum-half in Jones’ reshuffled side.
Excitingly, explosive tighthead prop Taniela Tupou is included on the bench having fully recovered from an Achilles tendon rupture. Meanwhile, Ian Foster has named a settled team as New Zealand bid to wrap up their fourth consecutive Rugby Championship title at the Melbourne Cricket Ground.
