The Wallabies 28-man touring squad for the away legs of The Rugby Championship in South Africa and Argentina has been named, highlighted by the return of Will Genia.
Ewen McKenzie has had a number of selection headaches to contend with after the injury enforced withdrawals of Tatafu Polota-Nau (ankle), Wycliff Palu (concussion) and Peter Betham (fractured ankle).
Coming into the squad is winger Joe Tomane, prop Benn Robinson and hookers Saia Fainga’a and Josh Mann-Rea.
The Wallabies will play South Africa in Cape Town on the morning of September 28 at 1:00am (AEST) then travel to Mendoza in Argentina the following week for a 9:40am kick off on Sunday October 5 (AEDT).
