David Rennie rolls out the big guns with captain James Slipper after Wallabies’ EMBARRASING loss

Under-fire Wallabies coach Dave Rennie has called on the staples of Australian rugby to revive a European horror tour.

Australia will face Ireland in a completely new outfit, having made 11 changes throughout the week to inspire winning form.

Rennie was criticized last week for his shock selection of a second tier side that ultimately led to Australia’s first-ever defeat to Italy.

A lack of discipline meant the Wallabies were playing rugby as a knock-on from the very first whistle set the tone for the disaster.

The squad welcomes its trio to the back row, with Jed Holloway, Michael Hooper and Rob Valentini to line up six to eight.

33-year-old prop James Slipper has been handed the captaincy card, with over 100 experience tests, clearly missing in recent weeks.

The halves combination of Nic White and ‘Iceman’ Bernard Foley return, while Jake Gordon and Noah Lolesio return to the bench.

Waratahs flyer Mark Nawaqanitawase has been nominated for a second cap, having been a shining light in an otherwise mournful Wallabies performance last Saturday.

‘Mr Consistent’ Andrew Kellaway steps into the number 15 jersey, shoving Jock Campbell out of 23 after a poor performance against Italy.

“Jock wasn’t at his best this weekend,” Rennie said

“Kells attacked very well for us at 15 years old. We want to get Tom (Wright) and Mark on the field. We were in doubt whether to play Tom at fullback or Kells.

They have good kicking games, which will be important.’

Rookie Wallaby Ben Donaldson has been ejected after a tough debut that saw the replacement No. 10 plotted onto the field with moments to go, missing a game-defining conversion.

Irish veteran No. 10 Johnny Sexton has declared himself fit to play after suffering an injury against the Springboks last month.

The 37-year-old expects Australia to play free-running, unpredictable rugby given their underdog status against the Test No. 1.

Former Brumbies player Mack Hansen will appear on the right wing for Ireland, where he has played at international level.

Ireland defeated the All Blacks twice in New Zealand at the 2022 Steinlager series in July, giving the side top team status.

Rennie and the Wallabies must break a two-game losing streak to revive a grueling overseas tour.
