Valetini to start while Canham ruled out for Wallabies Test against Springboks

The Wallabies have named their 23-member team for tonight's Test against world number one South Africa, with Rob Valetini starting at flanker, while lock Josh Canham has been ruled out with a hamstring injury.

Canham was named to start in tonight's match; however, Lukhan Salakaia-Loto will replace him in the starting line-up, with Lachlan Shaw added to the bench.

Head coach Les Kiss has also named 23-year-old Joseph-Aukuso Suaalii to make his first start on the wing, where he will team up with Max Jorgensen and Tom Wright.

Hunter Paisami returns to the centres alongside Len Ikitau, while Ryan Lonergan will team up with Ben Donaldson in the halves.

The Wallabies will take on the Springboks at 9:45 tonight at Optus Stadium in Perth.
