The Wallabies will face France with a starting lineup which barely resembles their opening Spring Tour fixtures, with coach Michael Cheika making 11 changes while handing Kyle Godwin a Test debut.Only flanker David Pocock, who moves to his preferred openside flanker role, halfback Will Genia, winger Henry Speight and centre Tevita Kuridrani have been retained from the starting XV which sealed a late 23-22 win over Scotland last week.But far from swinging the axe following a lucky escape, Cheika has chosen the new-look lineup to give his weary starters a rest ahead of the key grand slam clashes with Ireland and England - while also handing fringe squad members a chance to press their case.All five Wallabies to have started all 12 Tests this year - captain Stephen Moore, vice-captain Michael Hooper, Israel Folau, Bernard Foley and Dane Haylett-Petty - have all been relieved of their starting duties while prop Sekope Kepu, who came off the bench once, has also been given a rest.In Folaus absence, Luke Morahan is given a chance to shine at fullback - while the highly rated Godwin will make his first appearance for Australia.Ive been impressed with him from day one, Cheika said.Hes a player (France) wont know either so its something different for them to look at.Australias first-choice No.9, Genia, retains his place ahead of Nick Phipps after returning to the starting lineup last week following his release from French club Stade Francaise for the international window.Genia will get a chance to play in front of his adopted home fans at Stade de France on Saturday, and will rekindle his partnership with the enigmatic, but experienced, Quade Cooper who returns at five-eighth.Pocock headlines an exciting backrow made up of World Cup favourite Scott Fardy and rising talent Sean McMahon, who returns from an ankle injury suffered in Pretoria six weeks ago.The Wallabies will also test out an inexperienced front-row, with hooker Tolu Latu making his first start after debuting against Wales a fortnight ago, while rookie prop Allan Alaalatoa will partner veteran James Slipper.But Cheika insists there are no token selections among the team.You dont give away a starting jersey for Australia lightly, he said of the new front row.Weve said that we want to give lads experience and Allan hasnt started or been in this type of firestorm before.I wanted to try to get a blend of (youth and experience). I dont just want to go, here you go young guys, have a game.I want to give them the opportunity to play with experienced players.Team: Luke Morahan; Sefanaia Naivalu, Tevita Kuridrani, Kyle Godwin, Henry Speight; Quade Cooper, Will Genia; Sean McMahon, David Pocock, Scott Fardy; Rob Simmons, Kane Douglas, Allan Alaalatoa, Tolu Latu, James Slipper. Replacements: Stephen Moore, Scott Sio, Tom Robertson, Will Skelton, Dean Mumm, Lopeti Timani, Nick Phipps, Bernard Foley, Taqele Naiyaravoro (one to be omitted) Monte Harrison Jersey . Jason Zucker and Matt Cooke also scored for Minnesota, which has won five of six. Kuemper made five saves in the first, nine in the second, and nine in the third. The rookies best save came with 2:17 left in the third period when he denied former Wild forward Matt Cullen from just outside of the crease on the right side. Bob Natal Jersey . In the lead up - which seemed to begin the moment Mike Geiger blew the whistle in Houston last Thursday night - the Impact rumour mill went into overdrive. The speculation went into meltdown mode, of the golden nugget variety. https://www.cheapmarlinsjerseys.us/151r-jesus-sanchez-jersey-marlins.html . "Theyve both been real good," said Babcock. "Havent changed our minds." A decision has seemingly been made - Sundays Group B-deciding tilt against Finland ahead - but it could not have been an easy one. Price opened the tournament with a sturdy 19-save performance against the Norwegians, yielding just one goal. Josh Booty Jersey . By having more great seasons. Manning was the only unanimous choice for the 2013 Associated Press NFL All-Pro team Friday. Darren Daulton Jersey . -- On the field, it was business as usual for Jameis Winston and No. TORONTO -- Brett Lawrie has apologized to the Blue Jays after an angry dugout exchange with manager John Gibbons. Lawrie was fired up after teammate Adam Lind was held by third base coach Luis Rivera on Lawries fly ball during the ninth inning of Sundays 6-5 victory over the Baltimore Orioles. When he returned to the dugout, Lawrie and Gibbons yelled at each other as Jose Bautista stepped in to talk down the third baseman from Langley, B.C. The argument became a moot point shortly after when Munenori Kawasaki hit a two-run double to win the game for Toronto. Lawrie declined to speak to media before Mondays game against the Atlanta Braves, but he addressed his teammates privately. Gibbons said hed spoken to Lawrie and considered the matter settled. "Its over with. We dealt with it. Weve just moved on," said Gibbons. Bautista also tried to downplay the exchange, and repeated he believed Lawrie had been confused by what was happening on the field. "Everyone noticed his reaction was not the best," said Bautista. "But I talked to him and I understood that he got confused a little bit. Caught up in the moment, thats it. Its in the past. It got addressed. Shouldnt be any problem moving forward." Lind, not known for his speed, said hed already made his mind up to stop at third. "Thank God I didnt go, Id probably have been out." "I know (Lawrie) wants the RBBI," added Lind.dddddddddddd. "He wants to drive in runs to help his team win ballgames. Sometimes the smart thing to do is be conservative, especially when youre behind." Lawrie, who is batting .199 with five homers and 14 RBI in 36 games, is known for his fiery temper and all-out style of play that has sometimes gotten him into trouble since making his major-league debut with the Blue Jays in 2011. "His intensity is what makes him good. So I dont think that he should not play with intensity or dial it down," said Baut
