Two rookies named in Wallabies 30-man Rugby Championship squad
Wallabies coach Michael Cheika has named a 30-man squad to tour South Africa and England, for Tests against the Springboks and Argentina respectively.
There are two uncapped players in the 30-man group with Rebels flyer Sefa Naivalu eligible for national selection after fulfilling his three-year residency requirement, while Waratahs hooker Tolu Latu has forced his way into the squad.
Latu has been in impressive form for the NSW Country Eagles in the National Rugby Championship, as they top the ladder after four straight wins to open the competition.
It's not the first time Latu has been named in a Wallabies squad, after a broken arm ruined his chances in 2014. His inclusion this time comes after fellow hooker Tatafu Polota-Nau wasn't considered for selection.
The Wallabies might also cap their 900th player should either Latu or Naivalu play in the next fortnight, while it would also mark the 10th debutant of 2016.
Winger Drew Mitchell will fly back to France to continue the Top 14
