Sean McMahon to replace David Pocock in one of four Australia changes

AAMI Park officials are confident the pitch will hold up for the Wallabies test match against England this weekend.

I have been part of it, I know how it works.

Cheika said any mudslinging was only a bandaid solution to get a team in a winning position.

Australia have brought in two new props to try to shore up their scrum for Saturday’s second Test against England in Melbourne.

“We want to win this series and we have got an opportunity, so we will be even more desperate than the Australians”.

“That’s what Aussies are like, we’re in a battle, let’s go”.

“The surface is actually fine in general play, it was just in the scrums where it was tearing up, so hopefully it will hold up on Saturday”, Fardy said.

“The physicality is an area they will pick up in and their scrummaging, maybe they will start with (Sekope) Kepu”, he said.

“We spend a lot of time and effort looking at what we could have done better”.

“If someone pulls you down, you can’t whack a bloke because you know you’re going to get caught”.

“Eddie is obviously a man who I have a huge amount of respect for, the guy handed me my first ever Wallabies jersey”, said the contrite Fox Sports reporter.

“He’d only given away one penalty but I want to make sure there’s no perception about that at all”.

Hoiles has since apologised to Jones for his inappropriate question concerning the way England’s head coach and skills coach Glen Ella – who are old friends and former team-mates – celebrated Saturday’s triumph.

“I was miserable after the game”.

Jones has been infuriated by the “demeaning, disrespectful and disgusting” treatment inflicted upon England in Australia.

“He wants to be at his best so he can fulfil his potential, which is very important – you play in the Australian jersey, you want to be able to play to your maximum and you don’t want to be letting anyone down because the whole country is counting on you”.

There was speculation Christian Lealiifano might have slotted into the No 12 jersey, given he was probably going to start there in game one had his baby boy come into the world a little earlier, but Kerevi will get another chance after a passable showing in his Test debut.

Replacements from T Polota-Nau (Waratahs), T Smith (Rebels), G Holmes (Reds), J Horwill (Harlequins), D Mumm (Waratahs), W Palu (Waratahs), B McCalman (Western Force), L Gill (Reds), N Frisby (Reds), C Leali’ifano (Brumbies), L Morahan (Western Force).
