Henry Steps In for Suspended Paisami as Wallabies Shuffle Midfield for Eden Park Bledisloe Opener

Australia have reshuffled their midfield for Saturday's first Bledisloe Cup Test after Hunter Paisami was suspended for four matches for a dangerous tackle late in last month's 42-38 win over South Africa. Coach Les Kiss has moved Len Ikitau from outside to inside centre and handed 24-year-old Isaac Henry the No. 13 jersey for just his fifth Test cap. Kiss resisted reuniting Ikitau with Joseph-Aukuso Suaalii in midfield, instead keeping the code-switching star on the left wing alongside Max Jorgensen and fullback Tom Wright in a potent outside-back unit. "Keeping consistency in the starting side gives us a solid foundation, while adding some freshness on the bench will provide energy late in the game," Kiss said. Tighthead prop Massimo De Lutiis and flanker Nick Champion de Crespigny return to the bench after Taniel Tupou and Tom Hooper went back to their European clubs. Ben Donaldson keeps the flyhalf role after a strong run of form, with captain Harry Wilson leading a settled pack. Australia arrive in Auckland unbeaten in their last six Tests but facing a daunting statistic: no Wallabies side has beaten the All Blacks at Eden Park since 1986. Saturday's opener sets the tone for the Bledisloe Cup series.
