James Slipper, Michael Hooper and Rob Simmons bring experience to Dave Rennie's first Wallabies squad. SYDNEY: Sixteen uncapped players were included on Sunday in new coach Dave Rennie's first Wallabies squad, with the youthful line-up"chomping at the bit" ahead of a coronavirus-affected Rugby Championship.

But Rennie is looking to the future with 16 uncapped players and a further 13 with fewer than 10 appearances in a Wallabies jersey. "It is obviously a big squad which is due to COVID restrictions as we can't bring players in and out but each of one them is there on merit." His Rebels captain Dane Haylett-Petty also limped off, with playmaker Toomua and Reds' outside back Jordan Petaia joining the walking wounded.
