Head coach Dave Rennie has included three uncapped players in Australia’s lineup for his Bledisloe test against the All Blacks in Wellington on Sunday.
The starting squad of Filipo Daugunu (wing), Hunter Paisami (outside center) and Harry Wilson (flank) will see the Reds trio make their Test debut this weekend.
A fourth rookie, Brumbies playmaker Noah Lolesio, was named to the bench and could win his first test cap if he is used as a substitute later in the game.
Other notable picks on the bottom line are Tom Banks at fullback at the expense of Dane Haylett-Petty and Nic White as starting scrum-half ahead of Jake Gordon.
Up front, captain Michael Hooper’s team will see him play in his 100th Test.
There are only two survivors of the XV run-on that appeared in the last Wallabies event at the 2019 World Cup, Marika Koroibete and Michael Hooper.
