Wallabies make changes to keep Bledisloe Cup hopes alive

The Wallabies have made four changes to their starting line up as they bid to keep the Bledisloe Cup series alive when they play the All Blacks again at Eden Park this weekend.

The most notable is on the wing with Marika Koroibete coming in after being stood down for last week’s 33-25 loss following a late night drinking session.

Wallabies coach Dave Rennie has also called in the experienced midfielder Matt To’omua and made two changes in the forwards with Lachlan Swinton picked at blindside and Matt Philip at lock.

The front row remains the same for the third consecutive week, James Slipper the starting loosehead prop alongside hooker Brandon Paenga-Amosa with the reliable Allan Alaalatoa at tighthead prop.

Halfback Nic White is also set for his first appearance for the Wallabies this year having been named in the reserves having recovered from a knee injury.

“Eden Park is a place that most teams fear but we’re excited to get another crack after last weekend’s disappointment,” said Rennie.

“To beat New Zealand, you have to win the collisions and be clinical for 80 minutes and we didn’t do that.

“We’ve got a lot more in us and we’ll show that on Saturday night.”
