TOKYO :Wallabies coach Joe Schmidt has rested a host of stalwart campaigners and changed all but two of his starting side for Saturday's test against Japan, which opens Australia's end-of-season tour.

Schmidt has kept only halfbacks Tane Edmed and Jake Gordon from the starting team that lost to New Zealand at the end of the Rugby Championship with flanker Nick Champion de Crespigny captaining the new-look side in his third test.

Regular skipper Harry Wilson was named on the bench with Rob Valetini coming into the back row at number eight alongside Carlo Tizzano, who stands in for Fraser McReight at openside flanker.

Andrew Kellaway and Dylan Pietsch return from injury in the back three along with speedster Corey Toole, who reclaims the right wing starting spot from Filipo Daugunu.
