We have other good players. We feel certain that they are good enough to beat Australia, so it's better to not risk injuries. They are still on the bench though, so the coach can always put 3 of them on the field during the game. Besides that, you never know the exact team before the game starts, so maybe the coach just said that so the Aussies won't know which players to expect.
