SYDNEY (Reuters) - Australia coach Michael Cheika has bolstered his lineout with the selection of Lukhan Tui at blindside flanker for the series-deciding third test against Ireland in Sydney on Saturday.

The inclusion of Tui, who has played three of his six tests at lock, sees David Pocock shift from the number six jersey back to number eight, with Caleb Timu dropping out of the 23-man match day squad altogether.
