Joseph Suaalii returns, Potter debuts for Wallabies
By Jon Newcombe
Joe Schmidt has made six changes to the Wallabies team that thrashed Wales for Sunday's game against Scotland, with cross-code sensation Joseph Suaalii returning to the midfield.
Suaalii is promoted from the bench to make his second start in the gold jersey at outside-centre, and will play alongside Len Ikitau who shifts inside one position.
Harry Potter, meanwhile, will make his Test debut after being selected on the left wing in place of Max Jorgensen, who drops to the bench.
Captain Harry Wilson returns to the number eight jersey, while Carlo Tizzano will start at openside flanker in his first Northern Hemisphere Test, with Rob Valetini moving back to blindside flanker.
After missing out in Cardiff, Jake Gordon has been recalled at scrumhalf to partner Noah Lolesio who starts for the ninth time this year.
The final change to the starting side sees Jeremy Williams reinstated to the second row where he will partner with Will Skelton.

A deal in what way? JRLO standards a pretty low, about par with the NPC. You could flip the season somehow and play the big dog Super teams once the joint venture comp finishes? Currently JRLO and Super both finish in June (starting to get really hot for them at that time of the year).
Go to commentsHahahahaha!!!! What garbage, Leicester couldn’t wait to get rid of Wiese when his contract expired. He flattered to deceive throughout his tenure there. His all round game is lacking bar his carrying. So when he isn’t making meters he may as well be having a fag on the side of the pitch. SA don’t trust him so he is in and out of the side by default. Doris would walk on that SA team, ye haven’t had a decent 8 since Vermulen retired, but keep up the trolling princess!
