Team News:
Australia: Head coach Eddie Jones has made three changes to his starting XV from the team who defeated Georgia last game, with James Slipper replacing the injured Taniela Tupou in the front-row, Nick Frost coming into the second-row, and Nic White at scrum-half.
Fiji: Head Coach Simon Raiwalui has brought on Josua Tuisova in the inside-centre position and moved Semi Radradra to the wing. He says they are power-runners and wants to have them on from the beginning.
