Joe Schmidt has named a new-look Wallabies squad for their first Test against Wales, featuring seven debutants and a first-time captain, Liam Wright. This match marks the beginning of a new era following a chaotic period under Eddie Jones. The squad includes only five players from their last game against Wales, with a mix of fresh talent and experienced players like James Slipper and Noah Lolesio. Schmidt's selection focuses on form and local players who will stay long-term, aiming to build a strong team for future challenges, including the British and Irish Lions tour next year. The Wallabies hope to rejuvenate Australian rugby after a disappointing World Cup performance.
