Rugby Union: Wallabies go without Gavin
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.SAM SCOTT-YOUNG has kept his place at No 8 in Australia's team to play New Zealand in Brisbane on Sunday for the second of the three Bledisloe Cup matches after a storming performance during the 16-15 win in the first Test.
The Queenslander, who had 13 stitches inserted in a head wound after the opening game in Sydney the Saturday before last, is preferred to Tim Gavin, missing initially because of a bruised thigh.
Australia's only change is the recall at full-back of Marty Roebuck, who has recovered from a gashed lip. The only minor worry for the side who have now won a record nine successive matches concerns Jason Little. The centre is still feeling the effects of glandular fever, which kept him out of last month's two Test wins over Scotland.
AUSTRALIA (second Test v New Zealand, Brisbane, Sunday): M Roebuck; P Carozza, J Little, T Horan, D Campese; M Lynagh, N Farr-Jones (capt); T Daly, P Kearns, E McKenzie, J Eales, R McCall, T Coker, S Scott-Young, D Wilson.
