Veteran prop James Slipper and uncapped trio Declan Meredith, Lachlan Shaw and Miles Amatosero have all been included in the Wallabies squad for next month's Nations Championship Tests in Australia.
After retiring last November, 37-year-old Slipper could surpass All Blacks great Sam Whitelock as rugby's second most-capped player in history after answering an SOS call from coach Joe Schmidt.
Fellow loosehead Angus Bell also features in the 37-man squad following a season-long sabbatical with Ulster in Ireland.
Looking to press their 2027 World Cup claims, Brumbies pair Meredith and Shaw and Waratahs lock Amatosero are in line for potential debuts against Ireland in Sydney on July 4.
Meredith, 29, grew up in Cairns and played his junior rugby for Barron Trinity Bulls before moving to Canberra and earning his selection following strong performances at flyhalf for the Brumbies.
