- 2365
The return of Kurtley Beale is the major feature of the Wallabies’ 36-man Bledisloe Cup squad named by Head Coach Dave Rennie.
Beale last donned the Wallaby jersey in the spring of 2021and has recovered from the calf injury that has kept him out of action.
The other addition to the squad is Brumbies lock Cadeyrn Neville who comes in for Rory Arnold who is off-duty due to the birth of his son.
"Kurtley is a welcome return to the squad after recovering from a long-term injury and will bring his passion for the jersey along with his wealth of experience at Test level," said Rennie.
"It's great to be able to keep the core of our group together and welcome Cadeyrn back to the mob, while we wish Rory all the best for what's an incredibly exciting time for him and his family.
"We know how important these next two Tests are with silverware on the line and we'll be expecting a response after the disappointment of last weekend's loss."
