Wallabies captain, Michael Hooper believes Lachie Swinton can bring something New Zealand hasn’t seen in a Wallaby jersey after being called up to make his debut against the All Blacks in the Tri Nations and final Bledisloe Cup match tonight.

Few know Swinton better than Hooper, who has played alongside the 23-year-old for the past two years at the NSW Waratahs.

Now, Hooper wants his back-row teammate to deliver what he’s capable of on the biggest stage.

Hooper says Lachie has got a history of being very physical, bringing real aggression to the game and that’s what he’s been picked for.

Swinton is the third person that coach Dave Rennie has turned to wear the No.6 jersey in his opening four Tests in charge of the Wallabies.

The Wallabies coach said he expected to deliver that same physical presence on the field.

The Wallabies will face the All Blacks at 8.45 tonight.
