The Rugby World Cup Countdown: Will Australia's New Coach Get It Right? Massimo De Lutiis is set to become the 1,000th Wallaby when he takes to the field in Saturday's match against Japan.
This milestone comes as Les Kiss begins his second game in charge, with a mix of familiar faces and new talent vying for positions.
Kiss has opted to recall flyhalf Carter Gordon and prop Lukhan Salakaia Loto, a move seen as an attempt to balance his selections after the physically demanding Test week against Ireland.
