Wallabies coach Robbie Deans has announced a radically experimental team for Australia's second rugby Test against Italy in Melbourne on Saturday night.
Deans has named eight new faces in the starting side - with captain Stirling Mortlock and star five-eighth Matt Giteau among those rested.
He's also made three positional switches.
Centres Ryan Cross and Quade Cooper, winger Peter Hynes, flankers David Pocock and Peter Kimlin and the front row of Ben Alexander, Tatafu Polota-Nau and Pek Cowan are the new faces from the team which beat Italy 31-8 in the first Test last Saturday.
Berrick Barnes has been switched to first five-eighth, George Smith to No.8 and Dean Mumm to lock.
Smith will captain the side for the third time in Mortlock's absence.
Regular starters Stephen Moore, Benn Robinson, Nathan Sharpe and Giteau have been named on the bench, along with veteran breakaway Phil Waugh who will play his first game for Australia in 2009.
Teenage sensation James O'Connor has retained the fullback's jersey with Adam Ashley-Cooper among the reserves.
Of Australia's 30-man squad, only Lote Tuqiri, Timana Tahu and the injured Rocky Elsom have not been named to start or as a reserve in any of the Wallabies' three games so far this year.
