NAMED: Cheika makes three changes for the Wallabies

Dane Haylett-Petty returns for Australia to face New Zealand in the Rugby Championship as one of three changes to the Wallabies’ starting side.

Michael Cheika’s team were well beaten in the Bledisloe Cup opener on Saturday, going down 54-34 in Sydney.

Haylett-Petty has overcome a biceps injury and will start in place of Curtis Rona, who drops to the bench.

Samu Kerevi is out of the matchday squad and Tevita Kuridrani starts at outside centre, while Rob Simmons moves into the second row.
