    A recall for Kurtley Beale headlines Wallabies coach Joe Schmidt's first squad for two tests against Wales, and a match against Georgia

    A recall for Kurtley Beale headlines Wallabies coach Joe Schmidt's first squad for two tests against Wales, and a match against Georgia


    Beale linked up with the Western Force late in Super Rugby Pacific, after being cleared of sexual assault allegations.

    The 35-year-old utility back last played for the Wallabies in 2021.

    Elsewhere, former All Blacks prop Alex Hodgman has been named after his first season with the Queensland Reds - he played four tests for New Zealand in 2020 but is eligible through his father's side to switch, after serving a three-year stand-down.

    Gold Coast Titans-bound playmaker Carter Gordon and Brumbies halfback Ryan Lonergan are the high profile omissions from the squad, which includes 13 uncapped players.
