Former Ratu Kadavulevu School student and Reds utility forward Serupepeli Uru is set to make a potential international debut for the Wallabies tomorrow when they take on the Springboks in round 2 of the Rugby Championship after being named to start off the bench.
Uru was named in the Wallabies 33-member squad for this competition but missed out on selection in the first round.
Two other players with links to Fiji, Rob Valetini and Marika Koroibete, have also been named in the Wallabies match day 23 squad.
Valetini will start at openside flanker and Koroibete will start on the left wing.
Coach Joe Schmidt has made a total of 9 changes to his lineup that suffered a 33-7 loss to the Springboks in the first round.
Schmidt will be looking for redemption in this second round but knows it is not going to be an easy task to take down the world champions.
The Wallabies starting XV include Angus Bell, Josh Nasser, Allan Alaalatoa (c), Angus Blyth, Lukhan Salakaia-Loto, Rob Valetini, Carlo Tizzano, Harry Wilson, Nic White, Noah Lolesio, Marika Koroibete, Hunter Paisami, Len Ikitau, Andrew Kellaway and Tom Wright.
The reserves include Billy Pollard, James Slipper, Zane Nonggorr, Tom Hooper, Serupepeli Uru, Tate McDermott, Ben Donaldson and Max Jogernsen.
The Wallabies will take on the Springboks at 9.45pm tomorrow in Perth.
Meanwhile, the All Blacks will host Argentina at 7.05pm tomorrow at Eden Park in Auckland.
