Six players with links to Fiji have been included in the first Wallabies squad of the year.

They are Filipo Daugunu, Marika Koroibete, Isi Naisarani, Seru Uru, Rob Valetini and Suliasi Vunivalu.

Reds wing Vunivalu has earned a selection following an impressive start to the Super Rugby Australia season.

Coach Dave Rennie has named 14 uncapped players including Reds flanker Seru Uru.

The 24-year-old former Ratu Kadavulevu School student has been a revelation in his second Super Rugby season, showcasing rare athleticism for a man of his size.

Other notable inclusions are Reece Hodge, James O’Connor, Hunter Paisami, Jordon Petaia, Pete Samu, James Slipper, Matt To'omua and Nic Whyte.

The three day camp will be used to prepare for the international season which is currently scheduled to kick off in July.
