Kurtley Beale has been recalled for Australia's rugby Nations Championship tour to Europe, where the 37-year-old utility back may be considered for his first Test in five years.
Beale played the last of his 95 tests for the Wallabies against Wales at Cardiff in 2021.
He was selected for Australia's squad in 2024 but had to withdraw with an injured Achilles.
He was selected again yesterday to cover the absence of regular midfielder Hunter Paisami, who is unavailable for the tests against England, Scotland and Wales next month.
The Wallabies squad leaves Australia on Saturday, and Beale's inclusion will spark plenty of intrigue about his chances of making a fourth World Cup squad.
Australia is hosting the Rugby World Cup next year.
Wallabies coach Les Kiss says with Paisami’s unavailability, they are excited by what Beale can bring to the group
Australia will play England at Twickenham on 10th November.
