Fijian rugby stars Samu Kerevi and Rob Valetini are set to achieve a milestone by making their 50th appearances for the Wallabies in an upcoming match against Wales.
Kerevi, who has been positioned at inside centre, is among six players being rotated in the team following a thrilling 42-37 victory over England last week. He will be partnering with Len Ikitau in the centres, while Joseph Suaali’i, previously a starter, will now join the bench.
Other changes include Allan Alaalatoa, who takes over from Taniela Tupou in the front row, and Will Skelton returning to the starting lineup at lock, with Valetini shifting to the number eight position. Additionally, Seru Uru is stepping in as the blindside flanker, and Langi Gleeson will provide loose forward cover.
The match between the Wallabies and Wales is scheduled to take place on Monday at 4:10 AM at the Principality Stadium.
The updated Wallabies line-up features: Angus Bell, Matt Faessler, Allan Alaalatoa (captain), Nick Frost, Will Skelton, Seru Uru, Fraser McReight, Rob Valetini, Nic White, Noah Lolesio, Max Jorgensen, Samu Kerevi, Len Ikitau, Andrew Kellaway, and Tom Wright. The substitute bench will include Brandon Paenga-Amosa, James Slipper, Zane Nonggorr, Lukhan Salakaia-Loto, Langi Gleeson, Tate McDermott, Ben Donaldson, and Joseph-Aukuso Suaalii.
As Kerevi and Valetini celebrate this significant career milestone, it’s a moment to reflect on their contributions to the team and the sport. The Wallabies will be looking to build on their recent performance and make a strong impression against a competitive Welsh team.
This match stands as an opportunity for the Wallabies to showcase their strength and resilience as they aim to continue improving on their past performances, creating excitement among their fans.
