The Wallabies will have their least experienced front row in 27 years when they play England in tonight's rugby union Test in Perth.
Ben Daley, Saia Faingaa and Salesi Ma'afu have just two caps between them while England's front-rowers have a combined total of 80.
Australia lost inside centre Matt Giteau to a hip injury he's replaced by the experienced Berrick Barnes.

England has won only two of 15 Tests against the Wallabies in
Australia.
England hooker Steve Thompson yesterday sent a chill down Australian spines as the new-born Wallabies scrum confronts a menacing test at Subiaco Oval.
The veteran 55-Test rake warned that Australia's novice front-row should be on guard for international rugby's silent assassin - Dan Cole.
Cole has played just five Tests but Thompson labelled the prop England's discovery of 2010 and predicted he'd underline his scrummaging class in Australasia.
While England's second-string front-row taunted the Australian Barbarians pack on Tuesday night by greeting them with "here come the babies", Cole will let his actions do the talking on Saturday night.
"He's like the old serial killer - quiet but effective," said Thompson, 31.
Cole, 23, will line up directly on 21-year-old Wallabies loose-head Ben Daley who faces a baptism of fire in his Test debut.
