LYON, France (Reuters) - Australia coach Eddie Jones has left centres Samu Kerevi and Jordan Petaia out of his team for Sunday's World Cup clash against Portugal, when the Wallabies need a big win to keep alive their slim hopes of surviving in the tournament.

While Australia need Fiji to lose at least one of their remaining matches to stay alive at the World Cup, they also need to run in four tries against Portugal in Saint Etienne to secure a bonus point in their final Pool C match.
