Redditch RFC

Last week's titanic clash in Perth was not the perfect preparation for the historic 100th test match to be played in Brisbane.

Eddie Jones has been forced to pick Sam Underhill for Tom Curry in the forwards, but it is in the backs that he has decided to make wholesale changes. Danny Care felt the excess of test match rugby over the premiership and is replaced by Tigers' Jack van Poortvliet at scrum half for his second test. Whether  he can cope with the experience of Nick White remains to be seen.

Tough tackling Guy Porter, also from Leicester, will be given the job of containing the hard running Palsami in his first test, whilst Tommy Freeman from Northampton comes in on the wing.

With only Danny Care and Arundell named as backs subs England could be in trouble if any backs are injured.

Meanwhile Australia has been forced into 5 changes with the sending off of their first choice lock , Darcy Swain, and several serious injuries.

The major change is the return of giant prop Taniela Tupou, whose clash with Ellis Genge, could be a highlight of the forwards battle. There will be strong competition from Hooper v Underhill.

With the scene set, why not join us for breakfast, with the big match shown live in the club from 10:55am.
