Four uncapped players have been included in the Wallabies’ 35-man squad for their upcoming two-Test tour of Argentina as part of The Rugby Championship. David Feliuai, Josh Canham, Hamish Stewart and Corey Toole are in the mix to debut over the next few weeks.

With Hunter Paisami ruled out of the tour with an injury, Feliuai has been included. The Sunnybank Dragons midfielder will compete with Stewart and some other utilities in the squad in a bid to potentially enter the Test rugby arena for the first time.

The other uncapped back in the squad is Toole. The ACT Brumbies flyer was superb during Super Rugby Pacific, and while he’s long been touted as a Wallaby-in-waiting, Toole was left out of the national squad for the July series so he could compete at the Olympics.

Toole, 24, was among the standouts for the Australian men’s sevens side as they charged towards the Paris Olympics rugby semi-finals. With Filipo Daugunu missing the Argentina Tests through injury, it’ll be interesting to see if Toole is named to debut.

Josh Canham and Brandon Paenga-Amosa have both been picked for their first national squad of the year. Prop Tom Robertson has also been recalled into the Wallabies squad.

In what would come as another significant achievement for a modern-day rugby great, James Slipper will become the most-capped Wallaby of all time if he plays both Test matches in Argentina. Slipper is currently one cap short of George Gregan’s record of 139 matches for Australia.

Following the Wallabies’ two losses to the world champion Springboks, the men in gold will be eager to bounce back with an improved performance away from home. They fly out to Argentina on Friday before matches in La Plata and Santa Fe.

“It’s been a challenging couple of weeks but as a coaching group we are keen to continue trying to help a mostly consistent group go forward,” coach Joe Schmidt said in a statement.

“The Pumas have a talented and robust squad, which, along with the travel, will require further improvement from our squad.”

Leinster cleanse palette with record URC scoreline against Zebre

My name is Solenn Bonnet, and I am a single mother navigating the challenges of raising my two-year-old child while trying to make ends meet. I came across a trading platform that promised astonishing daily profits of 18%. The allure of such a high return on investment was too tempting to resist, and I found myself drawn into cryptocurrency trading. Excited by the prospect of financial freedom, I invested a significant amount of my savings, totaling over 5.7 BTC. However, what started as a hopeful venture quickly turned into a nightmare. The platform was a scam, and I lost everything I had invested. The emotional toll of this loss was immense; I felt devastated and helpless, struggling to provide for my child and keep up with my bills. In my desperate attempt to recover my funds, I sought help from various recovery experts. Unfortunately, I encountered numerous fraudulent individuals who claimed they could help me retrieve my lost money. Each time I reached out, I was met with disappointment and further scams, which only deepened my despair. Last year was one of the most challenging periods of my life, filled with anxiety and uncertainty about my financial future. Feeling overwhelmed and at a loss, I confided in a close friend from church about my situation. She listened compassionately and shared her own experiences with financial difficulties. Understanding my plight, she introduced me to Tech Cyber Force Recovery, a group of skilled hackers known for their expertise in recovering lost funds. Skeptical yet hopeful, I decided to reach out to them as a last resort. Their services came at a higher cost, but my friend generously offered to help me with a partial payment. I was amazed by how quickly they responded and began the recovery process. Their team was professional, efficient, and incredibly supportive throughout the entire ordeal. To my relief, they successfully recovered more than I had lost to those heartless scammers. This was truly transformative, and I felt a sense of relief and gratitude that I hadn’t felt in a long time. I strongly encourage anyone who has faced similar challenges or fallen victim to scams to reach out to Tech Cyber Force Recovery. If you’ve invested in a fraudulent platform like I did, they are highly capable of helping you reclaim your hard-earned money. Don’t lose hope; there is a way to recover what you’ve lost.
