The Wallabies have announced their squad for upcoming England test series.
Coach Michael Cheika has named four overseas based players and a total of 10 uncapped players.
โWe've been working with an initial squad of 60 players we identified, which has been reduced to 39 for this camp. We'll trim that number down to 30 for each Test, so competition for spots is everything,โ Cheika said.
โOur first week in camp will target a high intensity training attitude, building on combinations within that environment. We want to build on the identity we've worked hard on establishing over the past 18 months.โ
โWe have selected this squad with one eye on the now and one on the future and there's a huge focus on building depth within the squad.
โFor example, we want to work with three tight fives and four number 7s, looking to build that competition within that type of combination."
