Find out who Joe Schmidt has named in Australia’s squad for the Autumn Nations series.
Australia coach Joe Schmidt has named a 34-man squad for the Autumn Nations Series, including rugby league international Joseph Sua’ali’i.
He, who is likely to be used as a centre, moved from the NRL to rugby this month after playing his last league game in September.
He is a much-anticipated addition to the squad and Schmidt wasted no time in putting him straight into national team action.
Tane Edmed and Harry Potter are the other two unrestricted players named. Potter was born in England and played for Leicester before moving to Australia.

Elsewhere in the squad, Will Skelton and Samu Kerevi have been called up for the first time this year.
Wallabies coach Schmidt said: “The team has had a chance to bounce back over the last few weeks. At the same time, it was great to catch up with a larger group of players at our two-day training hubs in Canberra and Brisbane last week.
“We have a relatively consistent group, but we will be incorporating a few new players into the tour. “As we seek to balance opportunities for our players, some of our recent squad members will get much-needed playing time with the Australia XV, which will also allow us to expand our roster of players in highly competitive matches.”
