Ireland to face full-strength Wallabies

Australia coach Eddie Jones has resisted the temptation to select five-try hero Chris Latham and made just one change to his first-choice starting line-up for the match against Ireland in Melbourne on Saturday.

Latham broke the Australian Test record for tries in a match when he grabbed five against Namibia, but it was not enough to oust Mat Rogers from the full-back slot.

The only alteration to the team which played against Argentina in the tournament opener is at tighthead prop, where Ben Darwin has replaced Al Baxter.

Australia team to play Ireland in Melbourne on November 1:

M Rogers (New South Wales); W Sailor (Queensland), M Burke (New South Wales), E Flatley (Queensland), J Roff (ACT); S Larkham (ACT), G Gregan (ACT); B Young (ACT), B Cannon (New South Wales), B Darwin (ACT), D Giffin (ACT), N Sharpe (Queensland), G Smith (ACT), P Waugh (New South Wales), D Lyons (New South Wales).

Replacements: J Paul (ACT), A Baxter (New South Wales), D Vickerman (New South Wales), M Cockbain (Queensland), C Whittaker (New South Wales), M Giteau (ACT), L Tuqiri (New South Wales).
