Fiji’s very own, Radike Samo has been named on the reserve bench for Australia’s opening Bledisloe clash with the All Blacks on Saturday.

Samo’s return in the green and gold jumper follows his regaining form during the Super Rugby season.

He and Drew Mitchell missed out on the Wallabies Test in June and will be eager to get off the bench in their first encounter against New Zealand.

Meanwhile, Quade Cooper’s name is missing from the Wallabies 22.

Last year’s starting first five for Australia will sit out the match, with Berrick Barnes starting at first five.
