The Wallabies coaching staff have named a 36-player squad for the upcoming Rugby Championship Tests against South Africa in Brisbane and Perth.
Paris Olympian Corey Toole and West Australian junior Carlo Tizzano are two of six uncapped players in the squad, which is made up of 19 forwards and 17 backs.
Two-time John Eales Medallist Marika Koroibete has been selected in the group, with his 2023 Rugby World Cup teammates Angus Bell and Max Jorgensen also named in the national set-up for the first time this year, as they continue their comebacks from injury.
Queensland’s Seru Uru and ACT Brumbies’ Luke Reimer join Tizzano and Bell as additions to the forwards from the July Tests, with Reds teammates Fraser McReight and Liam Wright ruled out with injury.
The squad will assemble in Brisbane on Saturday ahead of their Tests against back-to-back Rugby World Cup winners South Africa at Suncorp Stadium on August 10, before crossing the Nullarbor for a second clash at Optus Stadium in Perth on August 17.
Wallabies head coach Joe Schmidt said: “There was plenty of discussion among the coaches but we’re hopeful that the squad selected will embrace the challenge of playing South Africa over the next fortnight or so.”
“We know there’s a lot of hard work to do ahead of those Test matches and we’re looking forward to getting back together as a group on Saturday and rolling up our sleeves.
“The players enjoyed the vocal support we received during the July Tests, and they will be looking to earn continued public support over the coming weeks.”
