Wallabies show faith in rookie fly half for final All Blacks Test
The Wallabies are without Ben Donaldson for Saturday's Bledisloe Cup Test in Sydney, while they have made changes elsewhere in their match-day squad.
Declan Meredith has been selected to fly half for the Wallabies in their final Bledisloe Cup Test against the All Blacks on Saturday. The Wallabies have moved Joseph-Aukuso Suaalii to the centres, with Isaac Henry switching from outside to inside centre. The 27-year-old Meredith, who made his Test debut against France in July, will start his fourth Test at fly half.
He replaces Ben Donaldson, who is out with a minor upper leg injury following the All Blacks' 50-19 victory at Eden Park. Harry McLaughlin-Phillips, the backup fly half, will make his Test debut if called upon. Other notable changes include Harry Potter starting on the wing instead of Isaac Henry, and former All Black Aidan Ross returning to the match-day squad at loosehead prop.
