The Wallaroos squad has been narrowed to 28 players by head coach Dwayne Nestor, as Australia prepares for the historic two-Test Series against the Black Ferns kicking off in August in Sydney.

The Wallaroos will play alongside the Wallabies for the first time on Australian soil when they run out at ANZ Stadium on Saturday August 18, for the double header clash in what will be Australia’s 50th Test match.

There are 13 uncapped players who join the squad alongside the experience of World Cup veterans such as Samantha Treherne, Cobie-Jane Morgan, Rebecca Clough, Mahalia Murphy and Grace Hamilton.

The following week the Buildcorp Wallaroos will return to Eden Park in Auckland where they played in 2016 to round out the Series.

Players have been part of satellite training sessions across the country, linked with their various state High Performances coaches, as they continued training for the 2018 Internationals, combined with club Rugby commitments.
