Wallabies team to play Ireland in Dublin on Spring Tour: Dave Rennie makes ten changes from Italy defeat

Wallabies lost to Italy last weekend. Dave Rennie made 10 changes to his team for the game against Ireland. Nic White and Bernard Foley return to the starting side. Andrew Kellaway returns to fullback position. Mark Nawaqanitawase will play against Mack Hansen. Jock Campbell was dropped. The game starts at 7 am AEDT on Sunday. The team is playing a nation outside the top 10 on the World Rugby rankings. It's the first time since Robbie Deans’ side lost against Samoa ahead of the 2011 World Cup. Rensie believes the team needs to respond quickly to Ireland's experience.
