Koroibete, Kerevi and Naisarani named for Wallabies to start against Wales

Marika Koroibete, Samu Kerevi and Isi Naisarani have all been named in the Wallabies starting 15 to take on Wales tomorrow.

Kerevi and Koroibete were instrumental in Australia’s win over Fiji in their opening pool match.

In other new inclusions Will Genia replaces Nic White at Halfback, Dane Haylette-Petty for Kurtley Beale while veteran Adam-Ashley Cooper replaces the suspended Reece Hodge.

Wales on the other hand have stuck with the same 15 that beat Georgia with players like George North, Jonathan Davies, Justin Tipuric, Alun (Elun) Wyn (Win) Jones and Dan Biggar all named to start.

The Wallabies take on Wales at 7.45pm tomorrow.

Meanwhile in today’s matches Argentina play Tonga at 4.45pm, Ireland take on Japan at 7.15pm while South Africa play Namibia at 9.45pm.
