SYDNEY (Reuters) - Australia coach Micheal Cheika opted for size in his team for this weekend's first test against England on Thursday, including hulking centre Samu Kerevi and towering lock Rory Arnold among three new caps for the match at Lang Park in Brisbane.
Kerevi will partner Tevita Kuridrani in a midfield with a combined weight in excess of 200 kgs, while the 208-cm tall Arnold will provide the grunt to complement Rob Simmons' organisational ability in the second row.
