Wallabies captain Michael Hooper has been included in a 28-man Wallabies squad for Saturday’s match against the All Blacks in Sydney.
The flank has not played since suffering a hamstring strain in the third Test against Ireland in June. Prop Scott Sio (shoulder) has also been passed fit.
Jack Maddocks and Tom Banks are the only two uncapped players left in the trimmed-down squad after Jordan Petaia, Billy Meakes, Folau Faingaa and Jermaine Ainsley missed the cut.
Rory Arnold, Caleb Timu and Sefa Naivalu are the others who have dropped out after the week-long camp in Cessnock.
Wallabies squad:
Forwards: Allan Alaalatoa, Adam Coleman, Ned Hanigan, Michael Hooper (capt), Sekope Kepu, Tolu Latu, Brandon Paenga-Amosa, David Pocock, Tatafu Polota-Nau, Tom Robertson, Izack Rodda, Pete Samu, Rob Simmons, Scott Sio, Lukhan Tui, Taniela Tupou.
Backs: Tom Banks, Kurtley Beale, Israel Folau, Bernard Foley, Will Genia, Dane Haylett-Petty, Reece Hodge, Marika Koroibete, Jack Maddocks, Nick Phipps, Joe Powell, Matt Toomua.
