Australia head coach Kevin Walters has named the same starting 13 that crushed the Cook Islands 66-6 to leave then unbeaten in the group phase last week.

That basically means that Reece Walsh's running power has been preferred at full-back instead of fellow superstar James Tedesco, who starts on the bench, and that Tom Dearden has done enough to partner Cameron Munster in the halves.

Australia: Reece Walsh, Jack Bostock, Kotoni Staggs, Bradman Best, Tom Trbojevic, Cameron Munster, Tom Dearden, Patrick Carrigan, Harry Grant, Tino Fa'asuamaleaui, Jacob Preston, Liam Martin, Isaah Yeo.

Interchange: Ethan Strange, Keaon Koloamatangi, Cameron Murray, Reuben Cotter, Latrell Mitchell, James Tedesco
