JUNIOR WALLABIES NAMED FOR FIJI CLASH
Junior Wallabies Head Coach Jason Gilmore has named his Junior Wallabies side ahead of their Tuesday evening match against the Fiji U20s at Bond University on the Gold Coast.
Following on from last week’s 64-14 victory over the Junior Japan side Gilmore has elected to change the squad, replacing the whole forward pack.
The new pack will see Western Australia’s Carlo Tizzano take to the field alongside NSW Waratahs Patrick Tafa and Queensland’s Tom Kibble in the backrow.
Captain Fraser McReight has also been moved to the bench with Western Australian Michael McDonald to take control of the captaincy slotting in at scrumhalf.
Junior Wallabies Head Coach Jason Gilmore said: “We’re looking forward to taking on the challenge of a strong Fijian side who we know will play that expansive style of game.
“They played a strong match against New Zealand and we’re expecting nothing less from them come Tuesday.
“There have been some changes in the squad following our match against Japan, so we’re excited to see how these new boys go tomorrow night.”
The match kicks off at 5pm AEST and will be broadcast LIVE on RUGBY.com.au as well as Oceania Rugby’s Facebook page.
