Joseph-Aukuso Suaalii has been named in the centers for the Wallabies’ clash with England, becoming the 17th debutant under coach Joe Schmidt. Suaalii will play alongside Len Ikitau, who will shift to inside center to accommodate him. This is the only change in the starting lineup from the previous game. The front-row remains the same with Angus Bell, Matt Faessler, and Taniela Tupou, while former captain Will Skelton is not included in the squad. Rob Valetini will play his 49th Test, reaching closer to the 50-test mark, and Harry Wilson will retain the captaincy. The halves combination of Jake Gordon and Noah Lolesio, as well as the back three of Dylan Pietsch, Andrew Kellaway, and Tom Wright, remain unchanged. James Slipper returns to the squad, moving closer to becoming one of the top five most capped players in Test history. Max Jorgensen also returns after overcoming an illness. Schmidt expressed confidence in the team’s readiness for the challenge against England and highlighted the excitement of playing in renowned Rugby stadiums during the Spring Tour. The match is set to take place at Allianz Stadium in London on Saturday.
