    Australia have picked David Pocock and Michael Hooper - both open-side specialists - in the back row for their World Cup opener against Fiji.

    Toulon's Matt Giteau, who is available after the Australian Rugby Union relaxed rules over overseas-based players in April, starts at centre.

    Fiji are without flanker Dominiko Waqaniburotu, who was handed a one-week suspension for a tip-tackle on wing Jonny May in his team's 35-11 defeat by England on Friday.

    He is replaced by Clermont Auvergne's Peceli Yato, while Stade Francais hooker Tuapati Talemaitoga, Ospreys lock Tevita Cavubati and Harlequins number eight Netani Talei also come in.
