The Wallabies and Brave Blossoms are set to compete in the second Test of their series in Townsville, with kick-off scheduled for 3:15 PM AEST. Australia has made eight changes to their starting lineup, including the introduction of Carter Gordon at flyhalf, as they continue to search for a reliable playmaker after a series of injuries and inconsistent performances. Japan also sees five changes, with Ryunosuke Ito expected to lead their attack following a strong showing in the first Test.
Watch for Carter Gordon's performance as he steps into the flyhalf role, crucial for the Wallabies' strategy. With the World Cup approaching, both teams will be keen to refine their tactics and build momentum. Ito's leadership for Japan could be pivotal in this high-stakes match.
