Joe Schmidt has made six changes to the Wallabies team that thrashed Wales for Sunday’s game against Scotland, with cross-code sensation Joseph Suaalii returning to the midfield.

Suaalii is promoted from the bench to make his second start in the gold jersey at outside-centre, and will play alongside Len Ikitau who shifts inside one position.

Harry Potter, meanwhile, will make his Test debut after being selected on the left wing in place of Max Jorgensen, who drops to the bench.

      Captain Harry Wilson returns to the number eight jersey, while Carlo Tizzano will start at openside flanker in his first Northern Hemisphere Test, with Rob Valetini moving back to blindside flanker.

      After missing out in Cardiff, Jake Gordon has been recalled at scrumhalf to partner Noah Lolesio who starts for the ninth time this year.

      The final change to the starting side sees Jeremy Williams reinstated to the second row where he will partner with Will Skelton.

      Go the Wallabies! Tough choice between two of my more favourite teams atm, but gotta back our southern hemisphere brothers to rise from the ashes.

      Donaldson OK again but still the one spot I think that could do with improvement that backup playmaker (or do without if Suaalii can cover 10!).
