Fiji-born wing Sefanaia Naivalu has been dropped from the Wallabies match day squad for the Northern Tour clash against Scotland this weekend.

Coach Michael Cheika has dropped the Rebels wing but has continued to give Tevita Kuridrani and Henry Speight starting positions.

Kuridrani retains the number 13 jersey after an impressive performance against Wales last weekend while Henry Speight will start on the left wing.
