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.

Deans' selections illustrate the his desire for versatility as Turner and Ashley-Cooper can both operate at full-back and on the wing.

Australia:
15 Adam Ashley-Cooper, 14 Peter Hynes, 13 Stirling Mortlock (c), 12 Berrick Barnes, 11 Lachlan Turner, 10 Matt Giteau, 9 Luke Burgess; 8 Stephen Hoiles, 7 Phil Waugh, 6 Rocky Elsom, 5 Nathan Sharpe, 4 James Horwill, 3 Al Baxter, 2 Stephen Moore, 1 Benn Robinson.

Replacement: 16 Adam Freier, 17 Ben Alexander, 18 Dean Mumm, 19 George Smith, 20 Sam Cordingley, 21 Ryan Cross, 22 Cameron Shepherd
