Injuries force Wallabies into No 10 change for second Bledisloe Test against All Blacks

Australia’s Wallabies will take to the field with a reshuffled backline for the second Bledisloe Cup Test against the All Blacks in Sydney, following a series of injuries that have forced key changes. Declan Meredith has been named as the starting fly-half, while uncapped playmaker Harry McLaughlin-Phillips will serve as his backup.

The adjustments come after Australia’s heavy 19-50 defeat in Auckland last week, a result that marked Les Kiss’s first loss as head coach and ensured New Zealand retained the Bledisloe Cup for the 24th consecutive year. New Zealand, meanwhile, have also made three changes to their starting lineup for the Sydney clash, adding further intrigue to the rematch.
