News transcript:
Wallabies coach Michael Cheika has recalled Quade Cooper to the starting for the Bledisloe cup decider against the All Blacks on Saturday. Cooper has replaced Bernard Foley and will be hoping to silence the boos like his last appearance across the ditch in a green and gold jersey.
Another interesting move from cheika was replacing David Pocock with Wycliff Palu at number 8 despite his impressive performance last week
Richie McCaw will break the record as the most capped player in Test rugby with this being his 142nd. All Blacks coach steve Hansen has made three changes to his starting lineup with Jerome Kaino, Sonny Bill Williams and Luke Romano missing out. MAA nonu and victor vito got the nod
Flanker Jack Conan will make his full Ireland debut at the Aviva Stadium as he forms a back row with stand-in captain, Sean O'Brien, and Chris Henry who will be starting in green for the first time since undergoing heart surgery last year. Ian Madigan is given the chance to impress in the No.10 shirt while Simon Zebo starts at full-back. Facing them will be Scotland and hugh blake is set to make his debut with Hooker Fraser Brown making his run on debut.
Warren Gatland has cut Richard Hibbard, Mike Phillips and James Hook from the Wales World Cup squad, jettisoning 218 caps’ worth of experience in his most controversial selection decision since dropping Brian O’Driscoll on the 2013 Lions tour. Gatland picked four uncapped players in his starting line-up to face England at Twickenham who will also feature three players on debut including centre Henry Slade and flanker Callum Clark. The talk of the town has been Sam Burgess’ inclusion after switing codes last season
