Nabuli to make Wallabies bow against Scotland
By Peter Thompson
Rugby league convert Eto Nabuli will make his Wallabies debut against Scotland on Saturday after Henry Speight was ruled out.
Fiji-born wing Nabuli has been given his chance from the start against Gregor Townsend's side this weekend, with Speight unavailable due to a hamstring problem.
Reds flyer Nabuli only switched codes last year and is now set to showcase his talents on the international stage.
Nabuli is the only change to the Wallabies team which beat Fiji last Saturday. Michael Cheika will name his replacements on Friday.
Lock Jonny Gray comes into a Scotland side which includes eight changes from the team which ran out for the win over Italy last weekend.
Australia team to play Scotland: Tom Robertson, Tatafu Polota-Nau, Allan Alaalatoa, Sam Carter, Adam Coleman, Ned Hanigan, Michael Hooper, Scott Higginbotham, Will Genia, Bernard Foley, Eto Nabuli, Karmichael Hunt, Tevita Kuridrani, Dane Haylett-Petty, Israel Folau.

I'd rate the brothers Hendricks a point or two lower. Jaden has really not delivered on his early promise and Jordan's kicking at posts was quite erratic. Amongst other things.
I was really surprised that DuhDuh was replaced and not Jordan. DuhDuh had a great game and just underlined his class in a backline that was not firing on all cylinders.
Damian Willemse was missed. Hopefully he'll be back to full fitness and have an injury free 2025 (and '26 and '27 and so on until he decides to retire to spend time with his grandchildren).
RG was great. What an athlete.
Very happy that Hanekom made his debut at last. He gave a good account of himself and will hopefully grow into his role on the international stage.
All things considered, this was another frustrating Bok performance. Even though it was a comfortable win, it wasn't a commanding win. This Welsh team should've been put away by a far larger margin.
But I have faith in Dr Rassie. He knows more than I do. Bring on 2027 😁
