Wallaroos coach Jay Tregonning has rung the changes for the second Test against New Zealand as Australia seek to recover from last weekend’s heavy defeat

Seven changes have been made to the run-on XV for the game in Adelaide on Saturday after the 52-5 hammering in Christchurch seven days ago, with two players set for baptisms of fire as they make their debuts against the world champion Kiwis.Brumbies centre Siokapesi Palu was on Thursday named at inside centre with sevens specialist Bienne Terita to start on the wing in the first half of a double header at Adelaide Oval, with the Wallabies to play South Africa later in the day.

Liz Patu returns at loosehead prop with Bree-Anna Cheatham ruled out through injury, while Adiana Talakai and Eva Karpani come into the starting line-up from the bench. “We’ve made some changes this week off the back of last week’s result, as well as some minor injuries within the squad,” said Tregonning. “We’re lucky to have built significant depth within the group over the last few months, and the players that have come into the starting line-up this week are deserving of their opportunity.
