Wallabies bolster squad with Skelton, White for Rugby Championship decider versus All Blacks in Perth

News summary

The Wallabies are preparing for a crucial Rugby Championship match against the All Blacks in Perth, with key players Will Skelton and Rob Valetini returning to the squad after injuries. Skelton, who missed the recent Bledisloe Cup defeat due to club commitments in France, aims to help Australia secure their first Rugby Championship title since 2015, despite the Bledisloe series being out of reach. Meanwhile, veteran scrumhalf Nic White has come out of retirement for a third time following Tate McDermott's hamstring injury, though he is expected to play a supporting role behind Jake Gordon and Ryan Lonergan. Head coach Joe Schmidt expressed frustration over the team's previous slow starts and missed tackles but remains hopeful for the final match, emphasizing the squad's competitive spirit and depth. Australia's path to the title also depends on the Springboks' results against Argentina, keeping the tournament outcome uncertain. Overall, the Wallabies are focused on making their nation proud by delivering a strong performance in their final test of the season.
