Lachlan Turner: 'Won't be doing flaming sambucas again...'Robbie Deans has given Lachlan Turner his full Australian debut as the Wallaby coach has made four changes for the second Test against France.
Stephen Hoiles, Phil Waugh and Adam Ashley-Cooper also get a recall giving George Smith, Lote Tuqiri, Wycliff Palu and Cameron Shepherd a well-earned rest.
Turner will become the 826th player to run out for the Wallabies in Test matches, only 15 months after making his first start for the Waratahs in the Super 14.
