Mass changes for Wallabies

Wallabies coach John Connolly continues his extended search for the best possible team for the World Cup, with ten changes made from the 31-nil victory over Wales for this Saturday’s one off test against Fiji.

The old firm of Steven Larkham and George Gregan will reunite in the halves, however the forward pack has been completely transformed.

Dan Vickerman is the only starter in the forwards from the Brisbane test in the first fifteen for Perth, as he desperately targets game time after undergoing a shoulder operation.

The front row contains all Waratahs players, with Matt Dunning and Al Baxter joined by hooker Adam Freier.

Lote Tuqiri makes his long awaited return, having been controversially rested from the opening two tests of the domestic season.
