LONDON: Michael Cheika retained the starting XV that beat Wales last weekend for Saturday's clash with England when the Wallabies hope to end a four-match losing run against the hosts.
Flanker Michael Hooper will captain the side in which prop Sekope Kepu win his 90th cap.
Former skipper and seasoned hooker Stephen Moore -- due to retire from test rugby at the end of the tour -- could become the seventh-most capped player of all time with 128 if he comes on for Tatafu Polota-Nau during the match.
Cheika's side, emboldened by their 29-21 victory over the Welsh last Saturday, will be seeking to record their first win over England since the pool match in the 2015 World Cup.
