Wallabies coach Dave Rennie has made four personnel changes to his starting lineup for Bledisloe II while also reworking his outside backs and loose forward trio.<\/p>\n

In come firebrand flanker Lachlan Swinton, contrite winger Marika Koroibete, reliable lock Matt Philip and experienced playmaker Matt To'omua.<\/p>\n

Out go Harry Wilson, Jordan Petaia, Lukhan Salakaia-Loto and Len Ikitau as Rennie tries to reverse the 33-25 first Test loss at Eden Park.<\/a><\/p>\n

Andrew Kellaway has been switched to the right wing from the left to accommodate Koroibete, who was stood down for the Bledisloe Cup opener last Saturday for excessive drinking.<\/p>\n

And Rob Valetini moves from blindside flanker to No.8 in place of Wilson with no room in the squad for another suspended player, Isi Naisarani.<\/p>\n

The Wallabies must win to keep the series alive going into the third Test in Perth on August 28.<\/p>\n

"Eden Park is a place that most teams fear but we're excited to get another crack after last weekend's disappointment," Rennie said.<\/p>\n

"To beat New Zealand, you have to win the collisions and be clinical for 80 minutes and we didn't do that.<\/p>\n

"We've got a lot more in us and we'll show that on Saturday night."<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Experienced halfback Nic White is back from injury and named on the bench which means no room for Waratahs captain Jake Gordon.<\/p>\n

Veteran prop Scott Sio is also in the reserves in place of Angus Bell and is in line for his first Test action of the season.<\/p>\n

To'omua's promotion sees Hunter Paisami shift out to the No.13 jersey and will take some pressure off Noah Lolesio, who kicked two from seven last weekend.<\/p>\n

WALLABIES (15-1):<\/strong> Tom Banks, Andrew Kellaway, Hunter Paisami, Matt To'omua, Marika Koroibete, Noah Lolesio, Tate McDermott, Rob Valetini, Michael Hooper (c), Lachlan Swinton, Matt Philip, Darcy Swain, Allan Alaalatoa, Brandon Paenga-Amosa, James Slipper<\/p>\n
