Jack Crowley, who started the defeat to the All Blacks, and the win over Argentina, had been expected to come back in for the clash with Joe Schmidt's Wallabies, but is instead named on the bench.

Centre Joseph Suaalii is passed fit to face Ireland and is named in a side that shows six changes from Australia's defeat in Scotland.

Aukuso Suaalii Fraser McReight and Taniela Tupou and gives Waratahs’ playmaker Tane Edmed his debut for Ireland Test.
