Alex Hodgman Joins Wallabies Squad for July Tests

Alex Hodgman is poised to make rugby history by representing both New Zealand and Australia, being named in the Wallabies squad for upcoming tests against Wales and Georgia. The 30-year-old, who played for the All Blacks in 2020, qualifies for the Wallabies through his Fijian-Australian father. Joe Schmidt, the new Wallabies coach, aims to revitalize the team ahead of the British and Irish Lions tour, including 13 uncapped players in the 38-man squad. Noteworthy inclusions are Kurtley Beale's return and the selection of players like Tom Lynagh and Josh Nasser following their fathers' footsteps in rugby.
