Former Eddie Jones stunner Leroy Houston set for shock Wallabies call-up

Eleven years after his first Wallabies call-up by Eddie Jones, Leroy Houston is reportedly in the spotlight to finally make his Test debut.

The 29-year-old back-rower is ready for a shock selection on Thursday in the Wallabies squad to play England in a three-Test series.

“They reckon that Leroy Houston will be announced to play for the Reds on Friday but he’ll be announced in the Wallabies squad on Thursday,” said former Wallaby, Greg Martin.

“He was nothing outstanding at the 2011 stage and he’s been overseas for that long but apparently Cheik has a real liking for him and Houston’s under the impression that he’s going to be named in the Wallabies squad."

Houston, who had one year left on his Bath contract, is expected to re-join the Queensland Reds.
