Test squad

When announcing the Wallabies squad last week, coach Michael Cheika was quick to stress that Lealiifano’s selection was entirely based on his form for the Brumbies this year - music to the playmaker’s ears.

“It'd (a Test comeback) be right up there. It's something I never thought would happen again,” he said.

“Obviously, to even play footy, but to be back in the squad is something I'm really proud of and grateful as well, that they haven't picked me just because I'm back and healthy again, they've picked me, Cheik said, on form and the way I've been playing.

 “I’m very pleased to announce the 24 man training squad of which 20 players will tour the Solomon Islands,” said VRL President Tom Carlo.

“This squad highlights the investment we have made into the game in Vanuatu where 21 of the players were either born and or raised in Vanuatu. 22 have come through our domestic competition in Vanuatu and 21 players currently play in our domestic competition in either Port Vila or Santo,” Carlo said.
