Wallabies drop McReight and start Meredith at flyhalf against Italy in Perth

Outgoing Wallabies coach Joe Schmidt has made bold selection calls ahead of Saturday's Nations Championship clash with world No. 10 Italy in Perth. Declan Meredith retains the flyhalf spot while Fraser McReight is dropped to the bench in favour of local favourite Carlo Tizzano. Australia are looking to end a six-game losing streak with the result.
