EDINBURGH (Reuters) - Former Australia captain Stephen Moore will lead the team out for his 129th international and last game of rugby on Saturday after being named as the starting hooker in the team to face Scotland at Murrayfield.

Coach Michael Cheika on Thursday selected Moore, who will retire from the sport after the match, ahead of Tatafu Polota-Nau in one of two changes from the side that lost 30-6 to England at Twickenham last weekend.
