SYDNEY (Reuters) - Utility back Reece Hodge will fill the Wallabies' troublesome centre position for Saturday's Rugby Championship clash with the All Blacks in Sydney.

Hodge, who spent much of the season at flyhalf for the Melbourne Rebels, has played virtually every other backline position for the Wallabies and steps in for the injured Samu Kerevi and Tevita Kuridrani.
