Kerevi back for Australia against Wales, Suaalii on bench
Centre Samu Kerevi was named in Australia's match-day XV to play Wales in Cardiff on Sunday, with last week's outstanding debutant Joseph-Aukuso Suaalii named on the bench.
Kerevi and back rower Rob Valetini will play their 50th Tests for the Wallabies, with Allan Alaalatoa skippering the side from prop after subbing in last weekend's 42-37 win over England.
"Last week's Test was fast-paced and physical and we've brought in some freshness for what's going to be another bruising encounter in Cardiff," said coach Joe Schmidt.
"As a group we've worked hard this week, knowing that there will be plenty of pressure on us this weekend."
Kerevi will partner Len Ikitau in midfield, with Nic White coming in at scrum-half inside Noah Lolesio.
After scoring the match winning try against Englandd, Max Jorgensen has been named to start on the left wing in place of the injured Dylan Pietsch, with Andrew Kellaway and Tom Wright completing the back three.
Valetini, with Harry Wilson ruled out, is named at No 8 and will link up with Fraser McReight and Seru Uru in the back row.
Alaalatoa starts with Angus Bell and Matt Faessler in the front row, while Will Skelton plays his first Test of 2024 and will partner Nick Frost as the run on locks.
Brandon Paenga-Amosa is again the substitute hooker, James Slipper and Zane Nonggorr the replacement props, with Lukhan Salakaia-Loto and Langi Gleeson the remaining forward cover.
Tate McDermott will again look to provide impact as the replacement scrum-half, alongside utility back Ben Donaldson, with Suaalii rounding out the matchday 23.
