Wallabies resist moving Suaalii in team to play the All Blacks

Wallabies head coach Les Kiss has named a strong side to challenge the All Blacks in the first Bledisloe Test at Eden Park.

With Hunter Paisami suspended, Kiss has resisted moving Joseph Suaalii back into the midfield, keeping the superstar on the left wing. The high profile recruit featured for the first time in the No.11 jersey against the Springboks.

Len Ikitau will move into No.12 with Reds rookie Isaac Henry starting at centre in a midfield reshuffle.

In other changes to the starting XV, Kiss has promoted Lukhan Salakaia-Loto to start alongside Jeremy Williams in the second row.

The starting front row and back row are unchanged from the forward pack that beat South Africa in Perth.

On the bench a number of new faces join the 23 with overseas stars Taniela Tupou and Tom Hooper unavailable.

Ex-All Black prop Aidan Ross is named in the reserve front rowers and will face his former team for the first time. He is joined by 22-year-old Test rookie Massimo du Lutiis as the other prop.

Du Lutiis made his Test debut against Japan in Townsville and played both games against Argentina.

Brumbies lock Lachlan Shaw and Nick Champion de Crespigny of the Force make up the second and back row replacements.

Tate McDermott, rookie flyhalf Declan Meredith and Harry Potter make up the back replacements.
