New Wallabies coach Les Kiss has selected inexperienced halves Ryan Lonergan and Declan Meredith for his first match in charge against Japan in Osaka on Saturday.
The Wallabies secured a 57-10 victory over Italy in Perth, marking Joe Schmidt's final Test as coach with a win. The team scored nine tries to two, with Josh Canham scoring a hat-trick.
Veteran prop James Slipper and uncapped trio Declan Meredith, Lachlan Shaw, and Miles Amatosero are named in the Wallabies squad for the Nations Championship Tests in Australia. Slipper, 37, could become rugby's second most-capped player. Meredith, Shaw, and Amatosero are in line for potential debuts against Ireland on July 4.
Andy Farrell has signed a new deal to stay as Ireland head coach until 2031, ruling out a possible move back to England. The extension covers two World Cup cycles and comes after a successful spell in charge.
