Overview

  • The Wallabies announced the 33‑man November tour squad on Friday with Teddy Wilson and loosehead Tom Lambert the only uncapped inclusions.
  • Wilson, a former Australia U20 captain and son of 1999 World Cup winner David Wilson, joins Ryan Lonergan and Tate McDermott as back‑up scrum‑half options.
  • The squad restores several players who missed the Bledisloe Cup through injury, suspension or release‑window limits, including fly‑halves Carter Gordon and Ben Donaldson and forwards Taniela Tupou and Tom Hooper.
  • Miles Amatosero and Tom Lambert will link up with the main group in London after first playing for Australia A in Nashville and the squad is due to depart for the UK next Saturday.
  • Tate McDermott remains in the squad but his availability could change because his partner is due to give birth in November as the team finalises its touring plans.
