International Rugby story moves into Rugby Dispatch focus

Les Kiss has named his first matchday 23 as Wallabies head coach as he prepares his side to face Japan in Osaka on Saturday. The story belongs in the International Rugby lane because it gives readers a specific rugby development to follow rather than just another link in the feed. The wider rugby value is how the development affects Test selection, national depth, player movement or the next international window. The next useful check is whether follow-up reporting confirms the rugby consequences rather than leaving it as a headline-only update.
