“There’s some continuity and freshness in this team after a very physical Test last weekend,” Schmidt said. “The players have rolled up their sleeves and worked hard again this week. The reality is that we need to be more combative and accurate this Saturday.” With Jake Gordon out through injury, veteran half-back Nic White has been thrust into the starting line-up to combine with his former Brumbies halves partner Noah Lolesio for the seventh time at international level. Angus Blyth comes in to join Lukhan Salakaia-Loto in the second row, with Schmidt naming an unchanged back row of Rob Valetini, Carlo Tizzano and Harry Wilson.
