New Wallabies manager Joe Schmidt has named his squad for the Wales-Georgia test in July, with 13 uncapped players included in the 38-man squad.
Kurtley Beale has also returned to the squad, while club captain Jeremy Williams is also included as one of the uncapped players.
Notable absentees include Rob Leota and David Polecki, who are recovering from injuries, and young flyhalf Carter Gordon, who recently announced his departure to the NRL at the end of the year.
The Rebels fly-half, who has represented Australia eight times, announced earlier this month that he would sign a two-year contract with the Gold Coast Titans from 2025. The Rebels were disbanded at the end of the 2024 Super Rugby season.
Alex Hodgman, who played four games for the All Blacks in 2020, is also named in the squad and could become the fourth player in history to represent both the Wallabies and All Blacks, and has been in the Reds since the start of the season. He plays as a prop. year.
The tests in Sydney and Melbourne will be the first since the disastrous 2023 World Cup campaign, when the Wallabies failed to make it out of the pool stages for the first time in their history.
They played both Wales and Georgia in France last year, suffering a record 40-6 loss to Wales but losing by 20 points to Georgia in the tournament opener.
Coach Eddie Jones resigned as Wallabies coach after the tournament and was replaced by former Ireland national team coach Joe Schmidt in January.
The July Test will consist of three matches over two weeks, with the Rugby Championship scheduled to begin in August.
