Some experienced Wallaby campaigners have been named in the Australia A squad which is set to face a rejuvenated Tonga team on July 14.
13 of the 25 players in the Australian squad have experience in a Wallabies jersey, none more than Bernard Foley, who was a surprise omission from Eddie Jones' Rugby Championship squad.
Three former Sevens players have been selected, with Brumbies speedster Corey Toole continuing his remarkable rise after a breakout season in Super Rugby Pacific. He's joined by Lachie Anderson and former All Black Sevens player Ollie Sapsford.
“It’s great to build on the foundations of the Australia A program from last year with another hit out against Test-quality International opposition in Tonga,” coach Jason Gilmore said in a statement.
“Eddie has selected a group with a huge amount of talent and alongside the rest of the Australia A coaches, I’m looking forward to working closely with them and maximising our time together.”
The match will take place in Tonga on the 50th anniversary of Tonga’s victory over the Wallabies; a match where Fatai Kefu, the father of current Tonga coach and Wallabies legend Toutai Kefu, represented the Ikale Tahi.

Online trading can be risky, even for the most cautious investors. A few months ago, I bought a DAO token with 540 SOL after thorough research. The token had a good community and appeared secure, but a few hours later, it dropped to zero, and I lost everything.
I didn't give up and searched for ways to recover my stolen crypto, finding Crypto Pandemic Hunter page. I contacted them and received a quick response. They investigated my case and used advanced software to trace the stolen funds. Within four days, I got my SOL back, and others did too. I'm grateful for their service and urge fraud victims to reach out to cryptopandemichunter@consultant.com.
