Australia to blood oldest debutant in 23 years in first Test against England

• Lock Cadeyrn Neville, 33, to earn first Wallabies cap on Saturday
• Quade Cooper, Samu Kerevi and Marika Koroibete will also start

The Wallabies have picked their oldest debutant this century to face England on Saturday. The 33-year-old Brumbies lock Cadeyrn Neville will pack down for his first cap in the opening game of the eagerly-awaited three-Test series as Australia look to beef up their forward power to counter the touring side's primary strength.

The 120-kg Neville was first selected in an Australian squad a decade ago but, until now, has never actually made it on to the field. He is the oldest Wallaby to make his debut since Tiaan Strauss in 1999 and the third oldest since the second world war but his impact for the Brumbies in Super Rugby has earned him a deserved call up.
