The Wallabies have made four changes for Saturday's second Bledisloe Cup Test in Auckland after a humbling loss to the All Blacks in Sydney last week.
Coach Michael Chieka has named a revamped front row after the 38-13 loss with Brumbies duo Scott Sio and Allan Alalaatoa taking over from Tom Robertson and Sekope Kepu, who have both been benched.
Fan favourite Taniela "the Tongan Thor" Tupou has again not been included in the squad after failing to overcome a hamstring injury he picked up in the build-up to last week's Test.
Chieka has had to deal with another injury to a key player as well with Israel Folau ruled out due to an ankle problem.
As a result, Dane Haylett-Petty moves to fullback while Jack Maddocks has been promoted to start on the wing after scoring off the bench last week in his international debut.
Elsewhere, a poor throwing performance at the lineout from Tolu Latu has seen him dropped from the 23 all together with Brumbies rookie Folau Faingaa set to earn his first Wallabies cap off the bench backing up Tatafu Polota-Nau.
