Jones makes sweeping changes

Chris Whittaker will lead Australia for the first time after Wallabies coach Eddie Jones made the expected sweeping changes to his starting line-up for his team’s World Cup pool match against Namibia in Adelaide on Saturday.

Whittaker will make just his third start for his country, taking over both the scrum-half duties and the captaincy from George Gregan, who is resting a thigh injury.
