Australia have made six changes to their side for Saturday's Test match with Ireland in Dublin.

Injuries and a punishing travel schedule have forced the changes from the team that started last week's hard-fought victory over Argentina.

Coach Eddie Jones said selectors had picked the best side available: "We've picked a pretty exciting line-up for this test.

"We've got Adam Freier making his full debut, Matt Giteau on the bench, but at the same time we've got seasoned campaigners like David Giffin making a comeback from surgery and Owen Finegan starting in the second row".
