Australia coach Dave Rennie made only one minor tweak to his team on Sunday for this week's second test against France, keeping faith with the line-up that snatched victory from the jaws of defeat in the series opener.
Taniela Tupou moved up from the bench to replace Allan Alaalatoa at tighthead prop after causing the French all sorts of problems as a replacement in the 23-21 victory in Brisbane on Wednesday."Taniela made a real impact on both sides of the ball when he came on at and we'll be looking for him to do the same from the get-go in Melbourne," Rennie said in a statement.
Alaalatoa was dropped to the bench for the match at Melbourne's Rectangular Stadium as Rennie named the same matchday 23 for successive tests for the first time since he took over as coach last year.
