Some skilled Wallaby campaigners have been named within the Australia A squad which is about to face a rejuvenated Tonga group on July 14.

13 of the 25 gamers within the Australian squad have expertise in a Wallabies jersey, none greater than Bernard Foley, who was a shock omission from Eddie Jones’ Rugby Championship squad.

Three former Sevens gamers have been chosen, with Brumbies speedster Corey Toole persevering with his outstanding rise after a breakout season in Tremendous Rugby Pacific. He’s joined by Lachie Anderson and former All Black Sevens participant 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.
