Junior Wallabies head coach Nathan Grey has made several key changes to his side to face New Zealand at the World Rugby U20 Championship 2023 in South Africa.
NSW Waratah front rower Jack Barrett once again packs down in the front row, while Teddy Wilson and Jack Bowen continue to build a strong 9-10 combination in the halves. Henry O’Donnell retains his place at outside centre partnering Taj Annan who has recovered from illness.
Ollie McCrea will feature off the bench.
The Junior Wallabies are looking to go one better after their 22-all draw against England last Tuesday.
The match will be available live and on demand on Stan Sport, along with all other Junior Wallabies games and other key fixtures from the tournament.
