Ten Safeguard Global ACT Brumbies Super Rugby Pacific representatives have been named for the first Wallabies squad announced in 2024.
Captain Allan Alaalatoa, Nick Frost, Tom Hooper, Billy Pollard, James Slipper and Rob Valetini have been named in the forward pack. Alongside uncapped Wallaby Charlie Cale, who has been called up for his first national squad.
They're joined by impressive backs Len Ikitau, Noah Lolesio and Tom Wright who round out the Brumbies contingent in Wallabies' Head Coach Joe Schmidt's squad.
The team will assemble in Brisbane on Sunday for a four-day camp as they begin preparations for their first Test of 2024 against Wales in Sydney on July 6.
Wallabies head coach Joe Schmidt said: “There were some very tight selection calls, as there always are when selecting a National Team.”
"The coaching group has looked hard at on-field performances and had ongoing discussions with Super Rugby coaches. We’ve combined the observations we’ve made, with some candid discussion and feel that we have some very good players to start working with, while also acknowledging that there are some good players who have missed selection.
“We have a short runway into our first Test, so we’re just keen to get to work and make as much progress as we can over the four days we have in Brisbane.”
