Rugby: Australia omit Moore, Koroibete set for debut


SYDNEY (Reuters) - Australia coach Michael Cheika made two personnel changes to his matchday squad for Saturday's Rugby Championship clash against Argentina but left former captain Stephen Moore out of the 23 for the Canberra test. Cheika, however, has stuck with Tatafu Polota-Nau as his starting hooker with Jordan Uelese as back-up after the 20-year-old got his his debut off the bench last week. "I think it's a logical decision and Stephen will get some hard training under his belt and get himself right for the tour." In international footy, you've got that little bit more complexity, you've got kickers trying to take advantage of your positional play," said Cheika. Replacements: 16-Jordan Uelese, 17-Tom Robertson,18-Allan Alaalatoa, 19-Izack Rodda, 20-Jack Dempsey, 21-Nick Phipps, 22-Samu Kerevi, 23-Marika Koroibete.
