Joseph Suaalii Benched for Upcoming Match

Joseph Suaalii, who impressed with a man-of-the-match debut for the Wallabies against England, was surprisingly benched for the team's 52-20 victory over Wales. Coach Joe Schmidt opted to start Samu Kerevi, who was later red-carded, raising questions about his selection for upcoming matches. Despite Kerevi's suspension risk, which could lead to Suaalii's return to the lineup against Scotland, the Wallabies showcased a dominant performance with hat-tricks from Matt Faessler and Tom Wright. The victory marks Australia's halfway point towards a grand slam on their British Isles tour, having sent Wales to their longest losing streak. Former players and commentators have mixed feelings about Suaalii's demotion, suggesting it might hinder the development of a promising partnership with Len Ikitau. The Wallabies continue to face challenges as they navigate player selections and injuries ahead of their next tests.
