They had this to say about it:
Several changes have been made, with Dan Palmer being forced out with a foot
injury allowing Jono Owen to make his run on debut.A switch in the playmaker’s roll will also take place, with Matt Giteau being given
the No 10 jersey while Christian Lealiifano slips out to inside centre.Tyrone Smith has also earned his first start of the 2011 season and will feature at
outside centre, with Andrew Smith moving to the wing and Franky Fainifo to the
bench.In the loose forwards, Ita Vaea returns from injury to No 8, with Colby Faingaa
shifting to flanker and Michael Hooper to the bench.
