Australia coach Eddie Jones has named place-kicking fullback Ben Donaldson in a full-strength side for their World Cup Pool C opener against Georgia on Saturday.

The versatile Donaldson replaces Andrew Kellaway to make his first test start in the number 15 shirt after Carter Gordon had an off day from the tee when Australia went down 41-17 to France in their final warm-up match.
