Fijians Samu Kerevi and Rob Valetini are set to achieve a significant milestone as they don the Wallabies jersey for the 50th time in the upcoming match against Wales next week. This notable achievement showcases their dedication and commitment to Australian rugby.
Kerevi, who has been named as inside centre, is one of six players undergoing a change in the lineup following a thrilling 42-37 victory over England last week. He will team up with Len Ikitau in the centre position, while Joseph Suaalii, who made a strong impression in his previous performance, will start the match on the bench this time around.
In the forward pack, Allan Alaalatoa steps in for Taniela Tupou, and Will Skelton returns to the starting role at lock, with Valetini shifting to number eight. Additionally, Seru Uru has secured a spot as blindside flanker, with Langi Gleeson providing loose forward cover.
The match is scheduled to take place at Principality Stadium in Wales on Monday at 4:10 AM, promising an exciting clash for both teams.
For fans of the Wallabies, this is an excellent opportunity to witness Kerevi and Valetini’s contributions as they hit this career milestone. These changes in the lineup aim to strengthen the team’s performance, showcasing the depth of talent and strategic planning in Australian rugby.
Hopeful signs are on the horizon as the Wallabies aim to build momentum in their campaign, and the experience of players like Kerevi and Valetini could be pivotal as they face the strong Welsh side.
Wallabies lineup: Angus Bell, Matt Faessler, Allan Alaalatoa (c), Nick Frost, Will Skelton, Seru Uru, Fraser McReight, Rob Valetini, Nic White, Noah Lolesio, Max Jorgensen, Samu Kerevi, Len Ikitau, Andrew Kellaway, Tom Wright.
