Wallabies, All Blacks Adjust Lineups for Bledisloe Cup

Australia's rugby coach Joe Schmidt has made significant changes to the backline for the upcoming test against the All Blacks, with James Slipper set to become the most capped player for Australia in his 140th test. Noah Lolesio returns as flyhalf alongside scrumhalf Nic White, while Hunter Paisami and Tom Wright are back from injury. The Wallabies face this match following a heavy loss to Argentina, aiming to reclaim the Bledisloe Cup, which they last held in 2002. Meanwhile, the All Blacks, coming off consecutive losses to the Springboks, have reinstated Beauden Barrett as fullback and made several adjustments to their team, including the return of Ethan de Groot and Caleb Clarke from injury. Both teams are focused on achieving a strong performance in this classic rivalry, with the All Blacks expected to dominate based on their historical record against Australia. The match, taking place at Stadium Australia, promises to be a pivotal encounter in the Rugby Championship.
