Wallabies fall to France<\/a><\/p>\nFrance scores its fourth straight victory over the Wallabies, triumphing 42-26 in the Nations Championship Test in Brisbane.<\/p>\n
Donaldson proved his fitness this week but will come off the bench.<\/p>\n
It means fullback Jock Campbell, who was the reserve fly half last Saturday, has missed out on a spot in the match day squad altogether.<\/p>\n
Harry Potter has been named on the wing to replace the injured Dylan Pietsch (calf).<\/p>\n
Waratahs lock Miles Amatosero is in line to make his Wallabies debut after being named on the bench.<\/p>\n
The Wallabies, ranked eighth in the world, will be aiming to snap a six-match losing streak when they face Italy.<\/p>\n
Schmidt has overseen nine losses from the past 10 matches, dropping his overall record at the Wallabies to 11 wins from 30 Tests.<\/p>\n
A loss in his final match in charge would result in Schmidt ending his reign with the worst winning percentage of any Wallabies coach in the professional era.<\/p>\n
World number 10 Italy is also winless in the Nations Championship, falling to Japan (27-10) and New Zealand (47-17).<\/p>\n
