Mick Cleary Rugby Union Correspondent 09 June 2016 7:05am BST This is not an Australian team to strike the fear of God into opponents. This is not a side that can stand comparison with those

Wallaby greats who have won World Cups (twice) or who gave it such a crack in the 2015 tournament. This is not the sort of gold-and-green outfit that did such a number on England in that

self-same competition. This is a beatable Australian line-up. On paper, that is. Of course, the Wallabies will be true to their traditions. They will be smart and eager, clever in all that

they do, hard and tough and resilient. They will not be easily broken, for no Australian side on home soil would cede turf without one hell of a scrap. But - and it is a ‘but’ that will

define how we evaluate England’s performance - there is an air of the unknown about them. They are missing some serious rugby intellect in the shape of Matt Giteau, Kurtley Beale, Adam

Ashley-Cooper and Drew Mitchell. There are other absentees too as the Wallabies look to build for the future. There are three debutants in their starting XV  - towering lock Rory

‘three-storey’ Arnold, centre Samu Kerevi and wing Dane Haylett-Petty. These are men who have no Wallaby past. It is up to them to create their future. > BIG MAN ABOUT TOWN: At 208cm Rory

that these blokes will not be overawed by the occasion, diminished by their own lack of international status. Quite the opposite. Eddie Jones’s one-time Randwick mucker, Wallaby head coach 

Michael Cheika, will see to that. If there is one single thing that the former Leinster coach has brought to the Wallaby experience since taking over a bedraggled mob 18 months ago, it is

they he makes players play. They have no fear. They express themselves. They want to do justice to the shirt. The newbies will fit into that ethos. So, Australia will be a force to be

reckoned with. They have World Cup sluggers in the front-row, masters of the moment in the back-row and shrewd half-backs, as well as that one-man match-shaper and game-breaker, Israel

Folau, at the rear. But England have a sniff, an opening. This is their chance to make their mark, even if they themselves have much to prove. England should not be daunted by what they are

about to face. Australia will stand fair and proud and all that. But this is an opportunity for England. By such a measure should we judge them.  AUSTRALIA TEAM TO FACE ENGLAND STARTING XV:
