Australia team to play England: Third test line-up

Dave Rennie names his Australia team to play England in Sydney as the men in gold look to wrap up a series win against their Northern Hemisphere rivals.

Reds backrower Harry Wilson and Melbourne fullback Reece Hodge have both been named by Dave Rennie for their first Tests of 2022.

Former NRL star Suli Vunivalu has been named for a potential Wallabies debut from the bench, roundiung out the matchday 23. 

Rennie said:

“Harry and Reece are both super excited to wear the Wallaby gold for the first time this year and have trained extremely well.”

“We know we’re a much better team than how we played in Brisbane and we’ve had a good week of preparation which will allow us to put in a performance that makes Australians proud on Saturday night.

“As a squad we have an opportunity to go to Sydney and lift some silverware in a series decider and that’s something that highly motivates us.”
