    Gerrard to start in Pacific Cup decider

    WORLD Cup utility back Mark Gerrard will start at fullback in Australia A's Pacific Nations Cup decider against New Zealand Maori on Sunday.

    Gerrard has been rewarded with the start in Sydney after making an impressive return from a shoulder injury off the bench for the A-team in their 50-13 thumping of Fiji at Ballymore.

    The Brumbies fullback is one of four changes coach Phil Mooney has made to the Australians' starting side following their seven-try rout on Sunday.

    NSW halfback Brett Sheehan has replaced Ben Lucas, Brumbies lock Al Campbell starts instead of Van Humphries and Julian Salvi moves into the back-row with No.8 Stephen Hoiles playing for the Wallabies against France.

    Drew Mitchell has moved from fullback to the wing with Lachlan Turner making his Test debut at Suncorp Stadium on Saturday night.

    Both the A-team and the Maori are unbeaten after four rounds but the Australians boast two more bonus points and will take the title if the match is drawn at the Sydney Football Stadium.

    Australia A team to play NZ Maori
    Mark Gerrard, Drew Mitchell, Morgan Turinui, Timana Tahu, Digby Ioane, Daniel Halangahu, Brett Sheehan; Richard Brown, Julian Salvi, Hugh McMeniman, Peter Kimlin, Al Campbell, Guy Shepherdson, Sean Hardman, Sekope Kepu. Res: John Ulugia, Salesi Ma'afu, Van Humphries, Leroy Houston, Ben Lucas, Sam Norton-Knight, Matt Carraro
