Overview
- Kurtley Beale was recalled to the Wallabies touring squad Friday and Les Kiss says he is a genuine candidate to start at inside centre while also able to cover fullback and fly-half.
- Hunter Paisami withdrew from the squad for personal reasons, a change that opened the vacancy filled by Beale.
- Kiss will assess Carter Gordon in London training before deciding if the Reds playmaker is fit to face England at Twickenham on November 8.
- Back-rower Tom Hooper has been cleared by scans and will join the touring camp after shoulder movement returned.
- Dylan Pietsch was omitted as coaches prioritised extra fullback cover, a selection trade-off that underscores depth choices the tour will test ahead of the Nations Championship and the 2027 World Cup build-up.
