The Wallabies make a late change to their backline as injuries leave them short at five-eighth ahead of their match against France. Multiple reports say a second experienced five-eighth is ruled out following earlier injury disruption, forcing the team to turn to Brumbies playmaker Declan Meredith. Meredith, who is uncapped, is set to start at number 10 for the Wallabies for the France game. The move comes after what the outlets describe as continued injury chaos in the five-eighth position within a short period. With senior options unavailable, the Wallabies adjust their selection and give Meredith a starting role at fly-half. The decision reflects a need to balance immediate match requirements with the absence of established personnel in that position. The reports agree on the key points: Meredith’s selection, his starting position at 10, and the trigger for the change being the loss of an experienced five-eighth following another injury in as many days.
