Wallabies pick inexperienced halves for first Test under Les Kiss

New Wallabies coach Les Kiss has named Ryan Lonergan and Declan Meredith to start in his first match in charge against Japan.

Les Kiss has made four changes to the starting XV for the clash in Osaka, throwing his support behind the untested halfback pairing.

The 61-year-old aims to improve on the poor results of predecessor Joe Schmidt, who won just 12 of 31 Tests. sportnewz.click
