Joe Schmidt has unveiled a new look Wallabies squad to take on Georgia for Saturday's Test at Allianz Stadium.
Schmidt has named his third different captain in three weeks with Allan Alaalatoa set to lead the side.
Tickets for the 2024 Wallabies home Test season available here.
He starts in the front-row for the first time since last year’s Bledisloe Test alongside Isaac Kailea and Billy Pollard.
It’s one of ten changes to the starting side as Schmidt rotates his squad after a clean sweep over Wales.
Fraser McReight, Rob Valetini, Hunter Paisami, Filipo Daugunu and Tom Wright are the remaining faces in the starting 15 from last week’s win against Wales.
This allows a debut for Rebels winger Darby Lancaster, continuing his breakout year after moving from the Sevens program.
Lancaster is one of four on starting debut alongside Kailea, Pollard and Angus Blyth.
Nick Frost, Harry Wilson and Len Ikitau will play their first Tests of the year, with Frost partnering Blyth whilst Wilson joins McReight and Valetini in the back row.
Ikitau has recovered from a hamstring injury and partners Paisami in the centres.
Meanwhile, Ben Donaldson has been elevated to the starting side, linking with Tate McDermott in the halves.
Alex Hodgman is in line for his debut off the bench, set to become the fourth player to play for both New Zealand and Australia.
Hodgman’s Reds teammates Josh Nasser and Zane Nonggorr are the front-row replacements, with Tom Hooper set for his first game of the season.
"Georgia have proven to be a very tough team to play as demonstrated by their wins against Italy and Wales in recent years, as well as their victory last week in Japan," Schmidt said.
“They have added some very exciting backs to their traditional forward strength and challenge opponents across the park.”
