Wallaby boss rings changes

AUSTRALIA have made four changes for Saturday’s Tri Nations opener against South Africa in Pretoria, with Matt Dunning, John Roe, Morgan Turinui and Daniel Vickerman coming into the starting line-up.

Dunning will replace Al Baxter at tighthead prop for his second start in the position this season, while at lock, Mark Chisholm makes way for the more experienced Vickerman, who came off the bench in the second half against the Springboks last week.

At blindside flanker, Roe has been rewarded for his consistency and comes into the starting line-up at the expense of Rocky Elsom, while at outside centre Morgan Turinui replaces Stirling Mortlock.
