Inexperienced flyhalf Carter Gordon was one of five changes made by Australia coach Joe Schmidt on Thursday for this weekend's Autumn Nations Series game with France in Paris.
Gordon, 24, is line for just his 10th test appearance as he replaces James O'Connor from last weekend's defeat to Ireland.

In the front row, prop Taniela Tupou takes the place of Allan Alaalatoa while hooker Billy Pollard stands in for Matt Faessler.
