Wallabies coach Dave Rennie is excited about unleashing Jordan Petaia in tonight's Bledisloe Cup opener to test the Kiwis' impressive backline.

Rennie believes that the move to hold him back for the France test will enable the 21-year-old to fully recover from his injuries.

Petaia returns after missing the Super Rugby Trans-Tasman and the France series due to a quad complaint.

Rennie says Petaia is very good aerially, has a great kicking game and is a good defender and it was a simple choice to put him on the wing.

The Wallabies will take on the All Blacks at 7.05 tonight.
