LARKHAM BACK FOR WALLABIES

AUSTRALIAN flyhalf Stephen Larkham has been included in the World Cup team to play Ireland on Sunday. The match will be Larkham’s first Test this season. Larkham replaces Rob Kafer in one of three changes to the team that beat Australia on Sunday. Larkham missed most of the season after a knee reconstruction and then broke his thumb when he returned for several low-key games. Joe Roff replaces Jason Little, while Matt Cockbain looks likely to replace former Springbok Tiaan Strauss.
