Wallabies team v Wales: Joseph Suaalii benched as Will Skelton returns

Suaalii dropped, Skelton to start

Joseph Suaalii has been dropped to the bench for the Wallabies' clash with Wales on Saturday night, with Will Skelton returning to the starting side.

Suaalii has been in impressive form for the Wallabies since making his debut in the second Test against England, but coach Dave Rennie has opted for experience in the pivotal clash in Cardiff.

Skelton will start at lock alongside Darcy Swain, with Jed Holloway moving to the bench.

Other changes

There is one other change to the starting side, with Lalakai Foketi replacing Hunter Paisami at outside centre.

Paisami has been struggling with a hamstring injury and Rennie has decided to give him an extra week to recover.

Foketi has been in strong form for the Wallabies this year and will be looking to make the most of his opportunity in the starting side.

Big test

The Wallabies will be looking to bounce back from their disappointing loss to Italy last weekend.

Wales will be a tough test, but the Wallabies will be confident of getting the win if they can play to their potential.

The match will be played at the Principality Stadium in Cardiff and will kick off at 7:15pm local time.
