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.

The prem games this season have mainly been great to watch , with the exception of Sale. So boring and predictable.
Let's have more of Bristol, Bath , Quins etc style of play.
Rugby needs expansive play to put more bums on seats . Not the dirge of rolling forward mauls constantly trying to bully their way over the line.
It has its place yes to draw the defence but the fans want to see more running rugby . Not win at any cost and sod the entertainment .
