Drew Mitchell released from Wallabies squad

Drew Mitchell has become the latest Europe‑based Wallaby to return overseas, not included in the Wallabies squad for the upcoming tour of South Africa and England.

Mitchell has been released from the 30‑man squad for the final two Rugby Championship matches against South Africa and Argentina, to return to Toulon and gain some match fitness.

Rebels flyer Sefa Naivalu is one step closer to reaching his Wallabies dream, included in the travelling group after becoming eligible for Tests on September 18.

Hooker Tolu Latu is a surprise inclusion in the squad, his first chance at a Wallabies berth under Michael Cheika, after some promising form in the NRC.

The Wallabies will play the Springboks at 3.05am next Sunday and the All Blacks play Argentina at 10.10am.
