Wallabies' halves merry-go-round continues as team to face All Blacks named
By Ben Smith
Wallabies head coach Joe Schmidt has once again changed the halves pair as they prepare to take on the All Blacks in Sydney.
The Santa Fe starting pair Jake Gordon and Ben Donaldson have been replaced by the Perth No 9 and 10 combination, Nic White and Noah Lolesio. Reds pair Tom Lynagh and Tate McDermott have been named on the bench.
In another surprise, hooker Brandon Paeaga-Amosa has been parachuted into the 23 directly from France from Montpellier. The former Reds hooker last played for Australia in 2021 and will deputise for Matt Faessler on the bench.
In a major boost for the Wallabies and only change to the forward pack, openside flanker Fraser McReight has been named to start with impressive upstart Carlo Tizzano making way for the Reds star.
The tight five remains unchanged with Taniela Tupou and Angus Bell forming the front row with Faessler and Nick Frost and Jeremy Williams forming the second row.

3) should be longer than that. Make the residency rule 7 years+. Should be almost near impossible for full fledged professionals developed in one nation playing for another. James Lowe, Gibson-Park the classic ridiculous examples. I don’t even like the ancestry thing like Brad Shields (although that would wreck the islands). If you go at 18/19 like a Cunningham-South or Dylan Hartley type then that’s not as bad, you’ve come through the new nation’s academy / development system.
Go to commentsI already gave up on ever getting cured of HSV2 because i have try many treatment none of them work out for me i have gone to different hospital they always tell me the same thing there is no cure for herpes, when i came across a post about Dr UMA in the net from a lady called Angela i contacted her and she reassured me with his herbal medicine which i took according to the way he instructed, that how i was cured. I doubted at first because i have been to a whole lot of reputable doctors, tried a lot of medicines but none was able to cure me. so i decided to listen to him and he commenced treatment, and under two weeks i was totally free from Herpes. i want to say a very big thank you to DR UMA for what he has done in my life. feel free to leave him a message on Whats-app him +2347035619585.. he also cure all this 1.HIV 2.HIV HPV 3 .ALS 4.
