Wallabies centre Len Ikitau has been cleared of injury to start in tonight’s Bledisloe Cup opener against the All Blacks at Eden Park in Auckland.
Ikitau limped off with an ankle injury during last month’s win over the Springboks but has recovered to partner Isaac Henry in midfield for tonight’s clash.
Henry’s inclusion is the only change to the starting side that defeated the world champions in Perth, replacing the suspended Hunter Paisami.
The Queenslander made his Wallabies debut in Japan and is set for his third Test start.
The starting forward pack remains unchanged, with Lukhan Salakaia-Loto retaining his place in the second row as Josh Canham remains sidelined.
Wallabies coach Les Kiss has also made changes to his bench, opting for a 5-3 split between forwards and backs.
Josh Nasser and Massimo De Lutiis will join Aidan Ross as front-row replacements, while Nick Champion de Crespigny comes in for Tom Hooper, who has returned to England.
The Wallabies last held the Bledisloe Cup in 2002, when Matthew Burke kicked a last-minute penalty to secure a dramatic 16-14 victory over the All Blacks.
Meanwhile, the Wallabies will face the All Blacks at 6.10 tonight at Eden Park.
