Israel Folau and David Pocock both return from injury to start for Australia in Sunday's Rugby World Cup semi-final against Argentina at Twickenham.

Australia coach Michael Cheika has welcomed both Israel Folau and David Pocock back into his starting lineup for Sunday's Rugby World Cup semi-final against Argentina at Twickenham.

The duo sat out the last-gasp quarter-final win over Scotland through injury, but have been passed fit to return this weekend.

Full-back Folau takes Kurtley Beale's place, while Pocock's return at number eight means that Ben McCalman is back on the bench.

Cheika has been forced into one other change, and James Slipper will become Australia's most-capped prop as he has been chosen to replace the injured Scott Sio at loose-head.

Australia: I. Folau; A. Ashley-Cooper, T. Kuridrani, M. Giteau, D. Mitchell; B. Foley, W. Genia; J. Slipper, S. Moore, S. Kepu, K. Douglas, R. Simmons, S. Fardy, M. Hooper, D. Pocock
Replacements: T. Polota-Nau, T. Smith, G. Holmes, D. Mumm, B. McCalman, N. Phipps, M. Toomua, K. Beale
