Wallabies Name Rookie Isaac Henry at Centre, Keep Suaalii on Wing for Bledisloe Cup Test vs All Blacks

“Wallabies Name Rookie Isaac Henry at Centre, Keep Suaalii on Wing for Bledisloe Cup Test v” — what this page in the network covers. Australia coach Les Kiss has made a bold selection call ahead of the first Bledisloe Cup Test against New Zealand at Eden Park on Saturday, handing rookie Isaac Henry his first start in the iconic rivalry. Henry, a Queensland Reds midfielder with just four Tests, will line up at outside centre, two months after debuting against Japan in Osaka. Star back Joseph-Aukuso Suaalii remains on the wing in an otherwise settled Wallabies side, as Kiss backs continuity and youth for the daunting Auckland clash.

The All Blacks, meanwhile, are dealing with injury concerns, potentially tilting the contest in Australia's favour. A win at Eden Park would be historic for the Wallabies, who haven't beaten the All Blacks there since 1986. The full version stays on the original page, which this listing opens directly.
