Debutant prop Taniela Tupou selected for Australia against Scotland

Prop Taniela Tupou has been selected by Australia coach Michael Cheika for the game against Scotland on Saturday, just two days after he became eligible.

Tupou, nicknamed the Tongan Thor when he became a schoolboy rugby sensation, joined the squad last week in anticipation of him being available for the Wallabies' last European tour match in the Scottish capital.

Hooker Stephen Moore will also start in his last Test for Australia, after backing up Tatafu Polota-Nau in the last six Tests.

Moore announced this week he was retiring after this match, his 129th Test since 2005.

Moore and Ben McCalman, in on the blindside flank for the injured Ned Hanigan, were the only changes to the line-up which lost to England 30-6 last weekend.

Coming into the reserves with Tupou were backup forwards Lukhan Tui and Tetera Faulkner, and back Henry Speight.

Meanwhile, Cheika is still waiting on the outcome of a disciplinary probe after television cameras appeared to catch him swearing in frustration at a decision by referee Ben O'Keeffe during last week's record 24-point defeat by England.

Australia: 15 Kurtley Beale; 14 Marika Koroibete, 13 Tevita Kuridrani, 12 Samu Kerevi, 11 Reece Hodge, 10 Bernard Foley, 9 Will Genia, 1 Scott Sio, 2 Stephen Moore, 3 Sekope Kepu, 4 Rob Simmons, 5 Blake Enever, 6 Ben McCalman, 7 Michael Hooper (capt), 8 Sean McMahon.

Replacements: 16 Tatafu Polota-Nau, 17 Tetera Faulkner, 18 Taniela Tupou, 19 Lukhan Tui, 20 Lopeti Timani, 21 Nick Phipps, 22 Karmichael Hunt, 23 Henry Speight.
