The Kangaroos have named their squad for upcoming Test matches against New Zealand and Tonga, with young guns Cameron Murray, Jack Wighton and Payne Haas all selected in the side.

MORE TO COME.
Ben hunt…….. PLEASE!
p.s the 9’s squad looks woeful
Stop selecting Anthem boycotters
So the Dally M halfback of the year doesn’t deserve a spot in the Australian squad but Ben Hunt does?
That will do me.
Jobs for the boys Mal.
I wonder why chody walk-about didn’t make the Australian side?
Curtis Scott????? Is this the same player who only came into first grade for the last few games this year? The players names must have been drawn out of a hat, honestly. What a farce!!!
The 9s squad is a joke.
AJ Brimson, Nathan Brown, Kyle Feldt, , Ben Hunt, Curtis Scott, there are better players then these guys ….
No body mentioned Wade Graham. How much of the season did he play?
Surely one ideal centre for the 9’s squad would be Bronson Xerri. There’s no one faster.
Kev. “Jobs for the boys”. Are you serious. There are 4 Qlders in a squad of 19. Mitchell can’t tackle and can’t play Hooker. Hunt is being chosen to cover for both hooker and halves. Also there is no way that Moses should get chosen ahead of DCE, Keary, Munster or Wighton in my opinion.
