Cheika wants more physicality against England by recalling Timani

Cheika wants more physicality against England by recalling Timani
Wallabies coach Michael Cheika and returning No.8 Lopeti Timani.

Michael Cheika has given an early indication of how physical he wants Sunday's clash against England to be by recalling No.8 Lopeti Timani.

Timani was left out of last weekend's match against Ireland for Dean Mumm given there was more of a focus on disrupting the lineout.

Cheika has gone all guns blazing by picking Timani to hopefully give the Wallabies an advantage and target England who are without a player of significant influence in Billy Vunipola.

Cheika says Timani will give them a lot of punch and strength in attack and defence.

In other changes, Kane Douglas replaces Rory Arnold in the second row while Sefa Naivalu has been rewarded for a fine showing against Ireland with a spot on the left wing.

Australia will take on England at 3.30am Sunday.
