Coker in for Tuynman
NZPA-AAP Sydney The towering Queensland forward, Troy Coker has been rushed into the Australian line-up to replace the injured No. 8, Steve Tuynman for the World Cup rugby semifinal against France at Concord tomorrow. Tuynman’s badly corked thigh, suffered in the. quarter-final against Ireland, has failed to respond to treatment. The move was the only
change in the side which accounted for Ireland, 3315, last Sunday. France has brought in Franck Mesnel at first five-eighths and his pivot partner, Pierre Berbizier, was passed fit to play. Mesnel replaces the veteran, Guy Laporte, and the goal-kicking will go to France’s new wing Didier Camberabero. The teams are.— Australia: Cameron Lillicrap, Tom Lawton, Andrew
Mclntyre, Stephen Cutler, Bill Campbell, Simon Poidevin (vice-captain), Jeff Miller, Troy Coker; Nick Farr-Jones, Michael Lynagh; Matthew Burke, Brett Pdpworth, Andrew Slack (captain), Peter Grlbb, David Campese. France:' Jean Pierre Garuet, Daniel Dubroca (captain), Pascal Ondarts, Jean Condom, Alain Lorieux, Dominique Erbani, Eric Champ, Laurent Rodriguez; Pierre Berbizier, Franck Mesnel; Didier Camberabero, Philiipe Sella, Denis Charvet, Patrice Lagisquet, Serge Blanco.
