Dave Rennie names Wallaby squad

Wallabies Head Coach Dave Rennie has announced his squad to prepare for the upcoming test series against France. 

 

The 38-man squad features 11 uncapped players and also includes Scott Sio, who has been brought back into the squad after Rennie left him out of April’s camp. 

“We’ve picked this squad on form and on potential, and I know the whole group really excited to get stuck in and push their case for a Wallaby jersey against France,” said Rennie in a statement.

 

“Obviously the squad is a bit bigger than what we would normally have but we had to consider how we will handle the rigours of the Series against France.”
