The Wallabies have made eight changes to their starting lineup for Sunday’s Test against England at Twickenham, welcoming back several key players including Joseph-Aukuso Suaalii, Max Jorgensen, and Taniela Tupou.

Suaalii returns to outside centre, partnering Hunter Paisami in the midfield, while Tupou and Billy Pollard rejoin the front row alongside Angus Bell.

Nick Frost and Jeremy Williams retain their spots at lock, and Rob Valetini will combine with Fraser McReight and captain Harry Wilson in the back row.

Lukhan Salakaia-Loto has recovered from a rib injury and will provide impact off the bench, while Filipo Daugunu is also named among the replacements.

The Wallabies will face England at 3.10am Sunday.

In other international fixtures that morning, South Africa will play Japan at 4.10am, and the All Blacks will take on Ireland at 8.10am.
