Wallaby coach Michael Cheika (pictured) has made a number of changes to a Wallabies side desperate to salvage some pride after a disasterous series against England.

Cheika has recalled Will Skelton to join the returning Rob Simmons in the second row and dropped Samu Kerevi entirely with Matt Toomua to play inside centre.

Wiradjuri man and former Wallaby Jim Williams says  although some of the changes aren’t ideal, the new faces won’t be wasting their chance to impress the coach before  returning to Super Rugby.
