Kiss picks Brumbies halves Lonergan and Meredith for first Wallabies Test

New Wallabies coach Les Kiss has paired Brumbies clubmates Ryan Lonergan at halfback and Declan Meredith at flyhalf for his first Test in charge, against Eddie Jones's Japan in Osaka on 8 August. Lonergan started the last three Tests under predecessor Joe Schmidt; Meredith the previous two. Kiss kept them together despite league returnee Carter Gordon's availability in the squad.
