Rob Valetini has earned a starting spot in the Wallabies team for their Bledisloe Cup clash against the All Blacks on Saturday.

Coach Dave Rennie has recalled Jordan Petaia to the wing who slots in for Marika Koroibete, who was not considered due to breaking team protocols.

Isi Naisarani also misses out on selection for breaching team protocols.

Rennie has included players such as Michael Hooper, Tom Banks, Noah Lolesio, James Slipper, Harry Wilson, Hunter Paisami and Lukhan Salakaia-Loto in the starting 15.

Meanwhile, Sevu Reece and George Bower will start for the All Blacks.

They will be joined in the starting line-up by Codie Taylor, Nepo Laulala, Brodie Retallick, Samuel Whitelock, Akira Ioane, Dalton Papalii, Ardie Savea, Aaron Smith, Richie Mo’unga, Rieko Ioane, David Havili, Anton Lienert-Brown and Damian McKenzie.

The All Blacks face the Wallabies at 7.05pm Saturday.
