Wallabies Welcome Back Injured Players for Bledisloe Cup

Fraser McReight and Hunter Paisami have been named in the Wallabies' 36-man squad for the upcoming Rugby Championship matches against New Zealand after recovering from injuries. McReight, who missed the last two matches due to a hand injury, and Paisami, who was sidelined with a knee injury, are expected to bolster Australia's performance following a disappointing 67-27 loss to Argentina. Coach Joe Schmidt emphasized the significance of the upcoming Bledisloe Cup tests, with the first match scheduled for September 21 in Sydney, as an opportunity to rebound from recent poor performances. Schmidt's squad will largely remain consistent despite the team's struggles, having won only one of their four Rugby Championship matches. New Zealand, also facing challenges under new coach Scott Robertson, has similarly lost three of their four matches this season. Both teams are keen to reclaim the Bledisloe Cup, which Australia has not won since 2002.
