DAVID CAMPESE, who won his 100th international cap against Italy a few weeks ago, is included in the Australian team to meet Connacht at the Sports Ground, Galway, tomorrow.

The team includes only two players who were in the team that defeated Scotland at Murrayfield last Saturday. They are number eight Owen Finegan and flanker Brett Robinson. Robinson, who will captain the side, came on as a replacement for Finegan in the 64th minute against Scotland.

It will be Campese's second appearance against Connacht. He came on as a replacement in the only previous match between Connacht and the Wallabies in October 1992 when Australia won 14-6.

Connacht will have two in their side who played in the match. They are outside half Eric Elwood, who plays for Ireland A today against South Africa A, and hooker Billy Mulcahy.
