Wallabies put trust in debutants for clash against the British and Irish Lions in Queensland Israel Folau is set to become a dual international when he makes his debut alongside fellow first gamers Christian Lealiifan and Ben Mowen for the Wallabies against the Lions on Saturday. Israel Folau will make his debut for the Wallabies against the British and Irish Lions tomorrow night. ISRAEL Folau has gulped in his heady three-code achievement but warm-and-fuzzy has gone out the door quickly with British and Irish Lions powerhouse George North as his first Test rugby challenge. Folau knows that a first Wallabies jersey is only part of the wonderful honour on Saturday night at Suncorp Stadium. The more significant part is performing in it. "It's certainly up there with what I've achieved in the past in rugby league and AFL," the quietly-spoken Folau, 24, said today when named in the Wallabies side. Injured: Lions still have power without Roberts It's certainly a very exciting time for me. It's a great achievement and now I'm looking forward to getting out there because it's a very important game for the team and me personally. It's funny how you think this time last year I was playing AFL (and tossing up a return to the NRL as well). Things change a lot in a short time. I've not regretted anything. It's been a great journey so far...Saturday night is going to be huge. Wallabies coach Robbie Deans said he had no qualms about fielding three uncapped players, Folau, inside centre Christian Lealiifano and flanker Ben Mowen, in this Test cauldron. John Dowling: O'Connor slipped through league's fingers The most important thing is they earned the right through their play," Deans said. "Israel is not really a debutant because he's played international sport before," Deans said. We know what's coming. All the boys do and we can't do any more but play in what will be a battle of wills out on the field. This occasion is not just unique in rugby. It is unique in world sport. The passion and following of the overseas fans is all part of that. Folau, the former Queensland State of Origin rugby league winger, has been preparing to play on the wing since entering camp after the value of gaining a more rounded package of skills by playing fullback for the NSW Waratahs. Folau will concede 5kg or more to the 109kg North. "I've had plenty of time to train on the wing and I feel very comfortable," Folau said. He (North) is a quality player and I've done homework on him the last few weeks. It's going to be a tough challenge for me but I've just got to go out and do my best and limit his opportunities. Deans said Folau would not catch cold through idleness on the wing. "He makes things happen when the ball is his hands and we have every intention of giving him that chance," Deans said.
