Hulking prop set to be 1,000th Wallaby as Kiss reshuffles deck

Queensland Reds prop Massimo De Lutiis has been named on the bench for the Wallabies' second Test against Japan, making him the 1,000th Wallaby capped. In a reshuffled lineup, fly half Carter Gordon has been recalled at the expense of Declan Meredith, while Les Kiss, the new coach, has made several changes to the team. Notable changes include Isaac Henry's debut at outside centre, Lukhan Salakaia-Loto's return to the Test lineup, and the inclusion of Charlie Cale and Carlo Tizzano in the second row.

The back three remains unchanged, and the coaches aim to assess their options before the long run of Tests ahead of the Rugby World Cup in Australia.
