Wallabies release 12 players for NRC duty

Ahead of the opening round of Australia's National Rugby Championship, the Wallabies have released 12 players  in a bid to add to their game time.

Centre Samu Kerevi, loose forward Adam Korczyk and lock Kane Douglas will boost Brisbane City's squad for their encounter with Fiji Warriors this Saturday.

Joining them is last weekend's Test debutant Izack Rodda, who could feature for Queensland Country, along with Isaia Perese, with the pair heading back to the provincial competition on Saturday.

Brumbies half-back and third-choice Wallabies nine Joe Powell, will also be in the mix for the Vikings.

Sunday's Perth Spirit vs Melbourne Rising could see Tetera Faulkner, Curtis Rona and Billy Meakes in the Spirit side, while Jordan Uelese, Lopeti Timani and Marika Koroibete will be in contention for the Rising.
