Tolu Latu added to Wallabies squad for Ireland Series

New South Wales hooker Tolu Latu has been added to Michael Cheika’s Wallabies squad for the Ireland Series ahead of the first Test at Suncorp Stadium.
 

Wallabies coach Michael Cheika said: “Right now he’s our most-capped hooker in Australia, so he’s got that little bit of experience playing in the big match atmosphere.
 
“Anaru Rangi has had a really good season with Melbourne too so he’s definitely not out of the equation. I’m just keen for the two uncapped hookers (Paenga-Amosa and Fainga'a) to have a little experience around,” Cheika said.

Latu has played four times for Australia and completes the 33-man squad following the withdrawal of Rebels hooker Jordan Uelese after confirmation of his anterior cruciate ligament injury.

Tomorrow, the Wallabies will announce their team to play Ireland in the opening Test at Suncorp Stadium in Brisbane.
