Australia coach Eddie Jones has admitted his selection of Lote Tuqiri on the left wing for Saturday’s World Cup quarter-final against Scotland represents a major gamble as it gives the Wallabies a back three composed entirely of former rugby league players.

A Mathew Burke-inspired Australia finally defeated New Zealand at Carisbrook Park to retain the Bledisloe Cup with a 25-13 win.
