Wallaby loose forward Rob Valetini has declared himself fit and ready to return for the 2nd Test in Melbourne. Valetini missed out on selection for the series opener in Brisbane as he recovered from a calf issue, with his absence coinciding with the Wallabies being physically outgunned by the Lions. Melbourne born and bred, Saturday will be a special occasion for Valetini, who grew up in the city and regularly used to go to the MSG to watch his Aussie Rules team St Kilda.

Melbourne born and bred, Saturday will be a special occasion for Valetini, who grew up in the city and regularly used to go to the MSG to watch his Aussie Rules team St Kilda.
