Queensland have made five changes to their Super Rugby side ahead of their clash with the Sunwolves this Saturday, opting to rest Wallabies duo Izack Rodda and Taniela Tupou.
Alex Mafi will start as the hooker for the first time in 2019, moving Brandon Paenga-Amosa to the bench.
For the Melbourne Rebels, Reece Hodge will make his first start of the season on the wing, forcing Marika Koroibete to the bench for the side’s clash in South Africa against the Lions.
The Brumbies have been dealt a big blow ahead of their Round 5 derby with the NSW Waratahs, after star Wallabies duo David Pocock and Allan Alaalatoa were both ruled out with injury.
While the Brumbies are yet to publically name their squad, AAP reports the pair were both injured in the ACT’s last-gasp loss to Melbourne last weekend and won’t front up for the Friday night clash in Canberra.
The Waratahs have made one changes for the Round 5 derby clash, with the late withdrawal of Karmichael Hunt big news. While Curtis Rona had originally been dropped for Alex Newsome, he returns to the side on the wing, with Israel Folau moving back to fullback and Kurtley Beale shuffling into the centres.
