| | The Wallabies believe they have found a chink in the mighty All Blacks they can exploit in their Tri-Nations rugby Test in Melbourne today.
Luke McAlister has been thrust into the hot seat in a New Zealand backline reshuffle after yesterday's withdrawal of fullback Leon MacDonald with a groin injury at training.
Mils Muliaina shifts to fullback with ball-playing Aaron Mauger promoted off the reserves' bench to inside-centre and McAlister moving to an unaccustomed outside-centre.
Wallabies' captain and outside-centre Stirling Mortlock identified it as a potential defensive weakness in the New Zealand backline, much which he helped exploit in Australia's shock 2003 World Cup semi-final defeat of the Kiwis.

However, she said flames returned Friday morning at one site west of Mount Parnita, some 30 kilometres (20 miles) north of the Greek capital.
"We have successfully handled a difficult task," Public Order Minister Vyron Polydoras said following an emergency cabinet called by Prime Minister Costas Karamanlis. But "the fight continues," he added.
