Will Genia and Bernard Foley will re-unite in the halves.

French-based Adam Ashley-Cooper (wing) and Matt Giteau (centre) have been recalled after missing Australia’s 3-0 series loss to England in June.

Dane Haylett-Petty retains a spot on the other wing, with vice-captain Rob Horne dropping to the bench.

In a surprise call, Cheika named Western Force back-rower Ben McCalman at blindside flanker ahead of Scott Fardy who will start from the bench.

David Pocock returns at No. 8 after missing the final two Tests against England through injury.
