Who’s in the Wallabies’ line-up?
The Wallabies were forced to make a late change to their match-day squad, with lock Josh Canham ruled out with a hamstring injury.
Canham is the Wallabies’ line-out caller and he’s been among their best players this Test season.
His spot in the starting XV has been taken by Reds teammate Lukhan Salakaia-Loto, with Lachlan Shaw added to the bench.
The main talking point coming out of the Wallabies’ squad announcement was the naming of Joseph-Aukuso Suaalii on the wing.
His shift to the flanks means Len Ikitau will play at his preferred position of outside centre, with Hunter Paisami to wear the 12 jersey.
The Wallabies’ match-day 23 is as follows:
15. Tom Wright
14. Max Jorgensen
13. Len Ikitau
12. Hunter Paisami
11. Joseph-Aukuso Suaalii
10. Ben Donaldson
9. Ryan Lonergan
8. Harry Wilson (C)
7. Fraser McReight
6. Rob Valetini
5. Jeremy Williams
4. Lukhan Salakaia-Loto
3. Allan Alaalatoa
2. Brandon Paenga-Amosa
1. Angus Bell
Reserves:
16. Billy Pollard
17. Aidan Ross
18. Taniela Tupou
19. Lachlan Shaw
20. Tom Hooper
21. Carlo Tizzano
22. Tate McDermott
23. Harry Potter
