Len Ikitau will return for Australia's Nations Championship match against England at Allianz Stadium,Twickenham, with Declan Meredith named to start at fly-half.
Ikitau missed the Wallabies' most recent outing -- a 43-21 defeat by New Zealand in Sydney on Oct.17 -- because of concussion but has recovered in time for Sunday's showdown.
The blockbusting 28-year-old centre is well known in England after completing a successful season at Exeter in 2025-26, helping the Chiefs reach the Gallagher Prem final.
Meredith continues at fly-half with Carter Gordon left out of the matchday 23 altogether while Joseph-Aukuso Suaalii shifts to the left wing to accommodate Test rookie Isaac Henry at outside centre.

"The entire squad has travelled well and prepared with fantastic energy and excitement heading into this weekend," Wallabies head coach Les Kiss said.
"Playing England on their home turf -- at an iconic venue like Twickenham -- is a massive challenge and another great opportunity for us to test ourselves against world-class opposition and keep building our game."
