The 4 uncapped players forming the Wallabies

Wallabies head coach Michael Cheika has recently named his updated 33-man squad for the upcoming Rugby Championship Tests against South Africa and Argentina.

The squad includes four uncapped players, with Kyle Godwin, Lopeti Timani, Tom Robertson and Naivalu all looking to pull on the Gold jersey for the first time.

Kyle Godwin

Godwin was part of the Australian squad on the 2014 Spring Tour and also trained with the Wallabies 2016 June Series, without any inclusion into the official squad.

The Zimbabwe-born 24-year-old has also represented Australia at Under-20s level and was signed by the Western Force in 2012, making his debut the same year.


Lopeti Timani

With his older brothers Sione Timani and Sitaleki Timani both international rugby player, Lopeti's skills have also placed his name in the Wallabies hat.


The 25-year-old represented the Junior Waratahs in the 2011 IRB Pacific Rugby Cup, and extended his stay with the side throughout the 2012 year.

He then signed with the Rebels for the 2014 and 2015 seasons.

Tom Robertson

Robertson was selected to represent Australia at the 2014 IRB Junior World Championship and also in the Sydney Stars squad to compete in the National Rugby Championship.

While also signing for the Waratahs this year, he also began studying for a medical degree at Sydney University.

Sefa Naivalu

Naivalu impressed the Melbourne Rebels with his displays and made history by becoming the first Rebel ever to be signed directly from a Dewar Shield side.

He is yet to complete his nationality switch, but will train with the squad before becoming eligible on September 18.
