Wallabies coach Dave Rennie has made just two changes to his side for their Bledisloe fixture against the All Blacks in Auckland on Sunday.

Ned Hanigan will play in his first Test in almost two years after being called into the Wallabies’ starting XV.

The 25-year-old, who played the last of his 20 Tests against England at Twickenham in November 2018, comes into the back row for Pete Samu, who has been dropped from the squad. Hanigan’s return at the side of the scrum sees Harry Wilson shift to No 8.

The only other change to the starting side is in the front row, where Brandon Paenga-Amosa comes in Folau Fainga’a at hooker.

The backline is unchanged, but on the bench Jordan Petaia and Liam Wright replace Noah Lolesio and Rob Valetini respectively.
