After securing impressive victories with a 42-37 win over England and a dominant 52-20 win against Wales, the Australian team aims to continue their winning streak on Monday.
Head Coach Joe Schmidt has assigned the Number 13 jersey to the standout rugby league recruit Joseph-Aukuso Suaalii, marking a significant moment for the young player as he makes his debut. Harry Potter, also a debutant, will start as the blindside winger, while Gleeson offers strong cover as a loose forward.

This match is a promising opportunity for the Wallabies to further establish their momentum and showcase their talent, particularly with the inclusion of new players in key positions. Fans will be eager to see how these changes impact the team’s performance against a competitive Scottish side.
