Marika Koroibete's wrist injury opens the door for Dylan Pietsch's first Wallabies start as Australia pursues a Bledisloe Cup win after 23 years.
Despite being taken to New Zealand after his injury, Koroibete's condition worsened post-game, leading to concerns about his form and readiness to play.
Coach Schmidt expressed confidence in the squad's depth, stating that this presents an opportunity for Pietsch to step up in Koroibete's absence.
The Wallabies face a significant experience gap, with the starting lineup holding only 394 Test appearances, leaving Taniela Tupou as the most experienced player.
