MELBOURNE (Reuters) -Lock Will Skelton and scrumhalf Jake Gordon are among five changes to Australia's starting 15 for the final Rugby Championship test against New Zealand in Perth on Saturday.
Skelton replaces the dropped Lukhan Salakaia-Loto after returning from club duty in France, while coach Joe Schmidt's preferred number nine Gordon returns for his first test since the British & Irish Lions series after recovering from a hamstring strain.
