Debut sensation Joseph-Aukuso Suaalii returns to the bench for Australia's clash with the Wallabies as injury forces several changes to the team.
Joseph-Aukuso Suaalii will start on the bench after making a spectacular debut against England last week.But coach Joe Schmidt still expects the 21-year-old to be a powerful, potentially game-changing option for Australia in a team he's had to tinker with more than he would have liked following its 42-37 win over England at Twickenham.
"So for him to just be able to take a breath and watch a bit of the game and then enter the game, I think he's a great opportunity for us to change it up a bit, if required." Max Jorgensen, whose glorious last-gasp try beat England, takes over from Pietsch on the left wing, while Skelton comes in for another Twickenham try scorer, Jeremy Williams, in the second row, with Rob Valetini taking Wilson's number eight role while Seru Uru gets his first full start at six.
