Four changes in Australia lineup to take on France

Fullback Jock Campbell will make his first start for Australia after being named on Thursday as one of four changes for the test against France in Paris at the weekend.

Campbell, 27, came off the bench for his debut last Saturday in the 16-15 win over Scotland at Murrayfield when Tom Banks hurt his ankle and replaces him in one of three backline changes.

But he said he was looking forward to playing at the Stade de France on Saturday

“France are a very good team ... their forwards are just so big,” Tupou said.

“They play freestyle footy. We have to be on our game. It’s a big challenge for me and I’m excited by it.”

“While we were happy to get a win to start the tour, we know we have a lot more in us and will need to be much better on Saturday against what is probably the best team in the world.
