Wright played three Tests in the 15 jersey in 2022, including their comeback victory over Wales.
He is joined in the back three by Andy Muirhead and Corey Toole, with Toole impressing with a double during last week's win over the NSW Waratahs.
Wallabies duo Darcy Swain and Nick Frost combine in the second row after coming off the bench, joined in the starting side by Lachlan Lonergan.
Scrumhalf Ryan Lonergan will once again captain the side, joined in the halves by Jack Debreczeni.
“We’re fortunate to be able to get some rugby into our returning Wallabies, and it will be a tough, physical test against the Rebels," Larkham said in a statement.
“Griffith set the standard last week and we’re excited to put on a special weekend of rugby in Wagga Wagga.”
Larkham will also bring on the likes of Wallabies skipper James Slipper, Pete Samu, Cadeyrn Neville and Len Ikitau from the bench.
They will join Jesse Mogg, who will make his first appearance since suffering a season-ending injury against the Queensland Reds.
The game will be shown LIVE on Bar TV Sports, with kick-off slated for 6:30 pm.
