CARDIFF : Ben Donaldson will start at flyhalf for an injury-hit Australia for the first time in Saturday's test against Wales in Cardiff as coach Dave Rennie made eight alterations to the side that lost to Ireland last week.

It is only the second cap for New South Wales Waratah Donaldson, 23, and he will partner Jake Gordon, who comes in for White. The 23-year-old Donaldson missed a last gasp kick against Italy in Florence a fortnight ago on his debut, handing the hosts an unlikely victory. In the backline, Tom Wright moves from wing to fullback to replace Kellaway with Jordan Petaia coming in on the right wing and Mark Nawaqanitawase switching to the left. Reece Hodge has not played for Australia at centre since 2016 but amid the injury crisis replaces Paisami.
