Fit and ready.
Wallabies star David Pocock has been named to play against England despite an injury question mark that had been hanging over his head. The flanker sat out training on Monday and was limited to non-contact work on Tuesday, but has been passed fit to face England.
Elsewhere Matt To’omua starts at ten, with Bernard Foley at inside centre and Samu Kerevi outside him. Kurtley Beale does not make the squad.
Michael Hooper will captain the side in a back-row alongside Pocock and Jack Dempsey.
