MELBOURNE (Reuters) - Uncapped ACT Brumbies backs Noah Lolesio and Irae Simone will make their test debuts against the All Blacks in Sydney on Saturday as Wallabies coach Dave Rennie rung the changes for the Tri-Nations opener.

The 20-year-old Lolesio replaces the injured James O'Connor as starting flyhalf and will face a baptism of fire at the Olympic stadium where the All Blacks will be bent on sealing the Bledisloe Cup with a match to spare.
