Fonua is joined in the pack by flankers Jarvis Finegan and Jarvis Orr, with number eight Kiama Jione.
Reds duo William Graham and Finn Mackay make up the halves after Queensland's dominant 48-point victory.
Fullback Treyvon Pritchard rounds out the Queensland selections after his hat-trick, making it back-to-back selections.
The Waratahs make up the rest of the backline with centres Onitoni Large and Matthew Gough joined by wingers Heamasi Makasini and Tom Hartman after a 94-19 thumping win.
