Wallabies Bledisloe Cup squad selection
Overview
Wallabies head coach Les Kiss has announced a 34-man squad for the upcoming Bledisloe Cup series against the All Blacks, with matches scheduled for October 10 in Auckland and October 17 in Sydney.
The squad includes several personnel changes due to club commitments and injuries. Uncapped loose forward Toby Macpherson has been called up to replace Tom Hooper, while Massimo De Lutiis replaces Taniela Tupou. Injury concerns involve star centre Len Ikitau, whose ankle is being monitored, and Josh Canham, who is managing a hamstring strain; Nick Frost has been added as cover for the latter.
Additionally, the squad faces uncertainty regarding center Hunter Paisami, who is awaiting a decision on a potential suspension following a disciplinary hearing for a dangerous tackle. If a ban is issued, Jock Campbell will be called into the group.
