Joseph-Aukuso Suaalii has been selected to make his first start on the wing for the Wallabies in Sunday's Test match against South Africa in Perth. Head coach Les Kiss placed Suaalii on the left wing alongside right wing Max Jorgensen and fullback Tom Wright. Additionally, Len Ikitau will shift to outside centre, partnering with Hunter Paisami at inside centre.
Kiss also opted for a 6-2 bench split to counter the Springboks' forward strength, naming six forwards and only two backs in reserve. Number 8 Harry Wilson captains the side, with Brandon Paenga-Amosa starting at hooker. Australia enters the contest unbeaten in Kiss's first four matches as coach.
