The forwards are Allan Alaalatoa, Angus Bell, Angus Blyth, Matt Faessler, Nick Frost, Tom Hooper, Isaac Kailea, Josh Nasser, Zane Nonggorr, Billy Pollard, Luke Reimer, Lukhan Salakaia-Loto, James Slipper, Carlo Tizzano, Taniela Tupou, Jeremy Williams, Harry Wilson.

The backline includes Ben Donaldson, Josh Flook, Jake Gordon, Len Ikitau, Max Jorgensen, Andrew Kellaway, Noah Lolesio, Tom Lynagh, Hunter Paisami, Hamish Stewart, Corey Toole, Nic White, Tom Wright.

The Wallabies will take on South Africa at Suncorp Stadium at 4.30pm next Saturday while the All Blacks will take on Argentina at 7.05pm in Wellington.
