Wales v Australia: Center Suaalii dropped to bench by Wallabies

Six Nations champions Wales are expected to name an unchanged side for Cardiff clash with Australia next weekend.

Versatile back Suaalii will start on the bench for the Wallabies as coach Dave Rennie makes eight changes from team that beat Scotland.

Lansdown will win his second cap while hooker Folau Fainga'a, prop Taniela Tupou, lock Cadeyrn Neville and back-rower Rob Valetini are also recalled to the starting line-up.

Suaalii, who can play center or wing, will provide cover from the bench.

Wales coach Warren Gatland is likely to keep faith with the side that beat England 20-10 in their Six Nations opener.

That would mean starts for fly-half Gareth Anscombe and center Joe Hawkins, who both impressed on their first Six Nations starts.

Australia are looking to build on their 28-15 win over Scotland last weekend, while Wales will be aiming to make it two wins from two in the Six Nations.
