The big talking point in the Wallabies team named to play the All Blacks this weekend is the move by Matt Giteau to five eighth.

Robbie Deans decided to use him as the playmaker instead of leaving him at inside centre. As expected Berrick Barnes comes into the run-on team.

Squeeky Moore is also recalled to the starting side with Saia Faingaa heading back to the bench. He’ll be comforted by the fact that he’ll be sitting with his brother Anthony, who has been selected for his first test.

Matt Hodgson returns after injury and replaces Ben McCalman in the reserves.
