Filipo Daugunu and Marika Koroibete will start for the Wallabies when they face the All Blacks in the third Bledisloe Cup match.

Noah Lolesio - the 20-year-old sensation, who led the Brumbies to Super Rugby AU glory in September - has been thrown in the deep end after being called up to wear the No.10 jersey after James O’Connor was ruled out because of an injury.

Wallabies coach Dave Rennie has also named James Slipper, Brandon Paenga-Amosa, Allan Alaalatoa, Lukhan Salakaia-Loto, Matt Philip, Ned Hanigan, Michael Hooper, Harry Wilson, Nic White, Irae Simone, Jordan Petaia and Dane Haylett-Petty in the starting 15.

The All Blacks and Wallabies play at 8.45pm Saturday in Sydney.
