Uncapped Uru, Mafi and Vunivalu named in Wallabies squad

Wallabies coach Dave Rennie has confirmed the 40-man squad ahead of next month’s
three-day camp on the Gold Coast.

A total of 12 St.George Queensland Reds have been named, including uncapped players Seru Uru, Alex Mafi and Suliasi Vunivalu. 

Reds off-season signing Vunivalu has earned selection in the Wallabies camp
squad, following an impressive return to the 15-man game in Harvey Norman Super Rugby
AU. Uru forced his way into the reckoning after a series of standout displays in Harvey Norman Super Rugby AU for ladder leaders, the Queensland Reds.

Mafi’s selection comes after he crossed for a hat-trick against the NSW Waratahs in the Reds 46-14 win last night. 

The average age of the squad is just 25 and is comprised of 14 Brumbies, 12 Queensland
Reds, seven Melbourne Rebels, four NSW Waratahs and three members of the Western
Force.

The three-day camp will be used to prepare the side both on-and-off the field ahead of the
International season, which is currently scheduled to kick off in the July Test window.
