Australia’s Wallabies name Joseph-Aukuso Suaalii to make his Test start on the wing for the first time as they face South Africa’s Springboks in Perth. The selection marks a position change for the versatile back ahead of Sunday’s match.
The outlets also describe a broader reshuffle in the Wallabies’ backline. Tom Wright and Max Jorgensen are named in the back three, while there is a shift across the midfield: Len Ikitau moves to outside centre with Hunter Paisami at inside centre. Coach Les Kiss also makes changes to the overall team balance, including a bench with six forwards aimed at providing power against the world champions.
Across the reports, the shared focus is Suaalii’s new role and the experimentation in the backline structure, with details of other positional adjustments presented as part of a wider tactical approach.
