Walters has made wholesale changes to the side that came from behind to beat Kiwis.
Of the 13 that started, there’s only three survivors: winger Jack Bostock, centre Kotoni Staggs and prop Keaon Koloamatangi.
There’s a few players making their debuts too, including the man wearing the No.7 jersey: Sam Walker. Walker - the Roosters premiership-winning halfback - partner Tom Dearden in the halves.
James Tedesco is the other big change. The Roosters No.1 replaces Reece Walsh in the jersey and captains the Kangaroos too.
The 33-year-old looked calm and relaxed. On Walker, he said: “He’s had a big year, he debuted for the Maroons and now the Kangaroos. He’s just excited to get out there.”
The Kangaroos have made a late change with Reece Walsh dropping off the extended six-man interchange bench. He will be replaced by dummy-half Harry Grant.

The Kangaroos are the massive favourites, with Fiji $50 outsiders with the bookies.
Kevin Walters’ men are coming off a hard-fought 24-22 win over the Kiwis. That epic encounter was more than a week ago, 10 days’ ago.
Fiji were way to good for the Cook Islands, winning 40-12.
