Henry drafted into Wallabies midfield for Bledisloe Cup opener

Isaac Henry will make his mark in the Wallabies' midfield for the opening Bledisloe Cup clash, stepping into the role vacated by Hunter Paisami, who is serving a suspension. The selection represents the only change to Australia's starting XV for the encounter at New Zealand's Eden Park on Saturday. Paisami's absence creates an opportunity for Henry to showcase his credentials in the high-stakes trans-Tasman rivalry, one of rugby's most storied competitions. The Wallabies will be keen to make a strong statement in Auckland as they look to challenge the defending champions New Zealand. With only this one positional change, coach selection suggests confidence in the overall structure and cohesion of the squad heading into the critical first test.
