SYDNEY (Reuters) - Wallabies coach Michael Cheika has welcomed the inclusion of Ben Te'o in the England squad for the June series in Australia and thinks the rugby league convert will handle the step up to test rugby if called upon.

Te'o has excelled at outside centre since leaving Australia and rugby league in 2014 for Irish province Leinster, who Cheika coached to their maiden Heineken Cup triumph in 2009.
