George North to take centre stage against Wallabies

George North will start at outside centre for Wales against Australia at the Millennium Stadium on Saturday.
The Northampton wing moves in following the news that Jonathan Davies has failed to recover from injury. As a result, Liam Williams starts on the wing with Leigh Halfpenny at full-back.
Rhys Webb has been selected at scrum-half ahead of Mike Phillips while the in-form Bath loosehead Paul James gets the nod ahead of Gethin Jenkins.
