George North will start at outside centre for the third time in his Test career when Wales face Australia in their pool decider at Twickenham.

Head coach Warren Gatland has made six changes to the line‑up that defeated Fiji 23‑13 with four in the forwards and two in the backs.

Former Chiefs player Gareth Anscombe will make his World Cup debut, starting at fullback. Anscombe and Mike Phillips are the only current Wales squad members to have not yet played at Rugby World Cup 2015.

The only two players in this starting line‑up who have been on the winning side for Wales against Australia are Alun Wyn Jones and Jamie Roberts who both featured in Wales' 21‑18 victory over the Wallabies in Cardiff on 29 November 2008.

Wales play Australia at 3.45am Sunday while the All Blacks take on Tonga at 7am tomorrow.
