Australia coach Les Kiss announced a 33-player squad for the upcoming spring tour to Europe, featuring upcoming matches in the Nations Championship against England, Scotland, Wales and another opponent. The group includes new faces such as NSW scrumhalf Teddy Wilson, the son of former Wallabies captain David Wilson, and prop Tom Lambert, who replaces Aidan Ross. The squad also welcomes back international reinforcements like Taniela Tupou and Tom Hooper, who play club rugby in France and England respectively and were unavailable for the recent Bledisloe Cup matches against New Zealand because the fixtures fell outside World Rugby's global player release period. Flyhalf Carter Gordon has been included in the touring party alongside Ben Donaldson and Declan Meredith as he recovers from a fractured leg, while Harry McLaughlin-Phillips missed out. Japan-based Hunter Paisami and lock Miles Amatosero, who will feature for Australia A in the United States, were also named in the group. The tour is scheduled to begin in London on 9 November.
