Sydney - The Wallabies responded Thursday to their shock loss to Scotland this week by making eight changes to the starting line-up for the first Test against Six Nations champions Wales in Brisbane.
Coach Robbie Deans brought in five fresh forwards and three backs for Saturday's match, after his side were upset 9-6 by Six Nations wooden-spooners Scotland in Newcastle on Tuesday.
There will be an all-Waratahs front-row with Benn Robinson at loosehead, Sekope Kepu at tighthead and hooker Tatafu Polota-Nau.
Reds second rower Rob Simmons is reinstated for injured Sitaleki Timani, while Wycliff Palu is the new number eight.
Robinson will make his first appearance since the record 59-16 win over France in 2010 after missing all of last year's Tests with a serious knee injury.
In changes among the backs, Adam Ashley-Cooper was selected at fullback while Rob Horne will partner Pat McCabe in the centres. Injured winger Joe Tomane is replaced by Cooper Vuna.
"We're going out there to attack... and to turn the scoreboard over," Deans said. "We've got some plans that suit us and suit our playing group and the rest remains to be seen.
"We've got some firepower across the backline that we'll be wanting to bring into the game."
The Welsh have lost their last four matches against the Wallabies, including the World Cup third place playoff in New Zealand in October and a 24-18 defeat in Cardiff in December.
The Wallabies have won eight of the nine Tests played between the two sides in Australia, with the sole Welsh victory a 19-16 win in Sydney in 1969.
