Wallabies team, Bledisloe III
Quade Cooper will make his Wallabies return from the bench as Australia look to respond to the Kurtley Beale saga in the third Bledisloe Cup Test.
Under-fire coach Ewen McKenzie has again overlooked Will Genia despite the halfback training with the squad for the last five weeks.
In contrast, five-eighth Cooper has been rushed straight back into the team for his first international this year as the Wallabies have lost playmaking cover with Beale suspended indefinitely over his texting scandal.
