Four changes for Qantas Wallabies ahead of final Test of 2016

Qantas Wallabies coach Michael Cheika has made four changes ahead of the clash against England at Twickenham Stadium in London on Sunday morning (1.30am AEDT kick-off).

Kane Douglas returns to the starting fifteen for just the fifth time in 2016, while Lopeti Timani, Sefanaia Naivalu and Nick Phipps have all earned a recall.

Douglas impressed off the bench in the last start against Ireland, as did Naivalu who raced away for a try with his first touch of the ball.

Captain Stephen Moore will add yet another career milestone when he runs out for 117th Wallabies Test to become the second most-capped Wallaby in history behind former skipper George Gregan.

Dean Mumm and Henry Speight shifts to the reserves and are joined by scrumhalf Nick Frisby, who’s set for his first Test since coming off the bench against Wales on November 5.

History is also up for grabs for Tevita Kuridrani, who could join Mark Ella as the only Australian to score a try in every Test match on tour against the home unions – a feat that hasn’t been replicated since the memorable Grand Slam tour of 1984.

The Cook Cup is back on the line at Twickenham Stadium after England claimed the trophy in their three-nil series wins in June this year.

A win for the Qantas Wallabies could also secure the second spot on the World Rugby rankings to close out 2016.

The Test between the Qantas Wallabies and England will be screened LIVE on beIN Sports 3 (Foxtel channel 515) with coverage from 1.00am AEDT and also LIVE on free-to-air television across Australia on SBS 1 from 1.25am AEDT on Sunday 27 November. Fans can also LIVE to stream the match on Foxtel GO (for Foxtel subscribers) and through beIN Sports Connect at https://connect.beinsports.com/au/
