Less than a month after switching rugby codes, Joseph Sua’ali’i will make his debut for Australia after being picked to start Saturday’s Test against England at Twickenham.

The 21-year-old has been thrown in at outside centre in a huge tour-opening game against an England side coming off a frustrating 24-22 loss to New Zealand last weekend.
