Adam Ashley-Cooper set to play his 100th Wallabies test
Quade Cooper returns to the squad as Australia face All Blacks in the final Bledisloe Cup match
Fly-half Quade Cooper was among the reserves named on Tuesday for the embattled Wallabies clash against the All Blacks in this weekend's Bledisloe Cup, with Adam Ashley-Cooper chosen for his 100th test.
Under-fire coach Ewen McKenzie made two changes to his starting line-up with Christian Leali'ifano at inside centre and Rob Simmons returning at lock for a team who lost 21-17 to Argentina two weeks ago.
Leali'ifano replaces injured Matt Toomua while Simmons displaces James Horwill from the beaten side in Mendoza.
Cooper has not played for Australia this year after suffering a shoulder injury in May, when he lost his place to Bernard Foley.
The Queensland Reds playmaker will make his return via the bench with Foley installed as the first-choice number 10.
Ashley-Cooper will become the sixth player in Australian rugby history to reach the 100-test milestone in Saturday's final Bledisloe Cup showdown in Brisbane against a New Zealand team who have already retained the trophy.
He joins George Gregan (139 caps), Nathan Sharpe (116), George Smith (111), Stephen Larkham (102) and David Campese (101) as Wallaby centurions.
