Wales have handed young Ospreys centre Joe Hawkins a surprise debut against Australia as Wayne Pivac made six changes to the side after the shattering defeat to Georgia.
Hawkins is brought in as one of four changes to Pivac's backline against the Wallabies this weekend. Rio Dyer and Gareth Anscombe return to the starting XV after missing the Georgia match, while Leigh Halfpenny is handed a first Wales start since July 2021.
In the pack, there are just two changes - with Taulupe Faletau starting in his 100th Test cap and former captain Alun Wyn Jones returning to the second-row after not being included in matchday squads against Argentina and Georgia. World rugby's most capped player is still searching for his first win as a starter for Wales in 2022 - having last started against Italy in March's defeat.
