Jake Gordon is set to make his return to the gold jersey, his return the only change to Joe Schmidt’s side as the Wallabies look to end a long Bledisloe Cup drought.
The Waratahs halfback comes into the squad for Nic White, who officially signed off on social media following his delayed post-Lions retirement

White stayed on to cover the then-injured Gordon and played key roles in Australia's historic Ellis Park victory and a last-gasp Wallabies win in Townsville.
Schmidt has opted for a 34-man squad, with 19 forwards and 15 backs who will depart for Auckland on Sunday, just under a week ahead of their showdown with New Zealand at Eden Park.
Nick Frost (back) and Len Ikitau (knee), both return after missing last week's loss to Argentina in Sydney.
The two-Test Bledisloe Cup series could also see two milestones reached with Tate McDermott in line to bring up his 50th cap in gold.
James Slipper could also be set to enter esteemed company should he play at Eden Park, with the prop one match away from becoming the first Wallaby (and only third player of all time after Wales’ Alun-Wyn Jones and New Zealand’s Sam Whitelock), to play in 150 Test matches for their country.
Brumbies halfback Ryan Lonergan the only player uncapped player in the group.
James O’Connor has also been officially confirmed to return and has been named alongside Tom Lynagh and Tane Edmed as halves options, with Ben Donaldson missing out.
“After an intense period, from the British and Irish Lions Series, playing in South Africa and then here in Australia against Los Pumas, it’s been ideal for players to take a breath before heading to Auckland for the fifth match in the Rugby Championship,” Wallabies coach Joe Schmidt said in an official statement.
“We know that the Championship has been incredibly competitive and that we will need to be better than we were last time out to have any chance against a fired-up All Blacks side.”
