The Wallabies have brought back fullback Jock Campbell for their opening Test against Ireland after a lengthy 1,316-day absence from international rugby. The selection caps a long comeback for Campbell, with coach Joe Schmidt describing his return as a story of perseverance.
Australia will field two playmakers and a new fullback as part of its game plan to upset the Irish. Schmidt has also pointed to an angrier Irish side this season. The selection news comes as rugby stars continue to link Australia's rugby growth to code-switching between the Sevens and full versions of the game.
