Wales head coach Sean Lynn has named a 30-player squad for the two Test series against the Wallaroos in Australia this summer. Wales will play Australia in two Test matches in Brisbane and Sydney on the same weekend the British and Irish Lions face the Wallabies. Backrowers Alex Callender and Kate Williams have been appointed co-captains for the tour and Rugby World Cup 2025 in England. Prop Sisilia Tuipulotu returns to the squad after missing the Six Nations campaign and is joined by three uncapped players. Scrum half Seren Lockwood, prop Katherine Baverstock and lock Tilly Vucaj look set to make their Wales debuts against Australia. All three have played age-grade rugby for Wales U18s and U20s and impressed during a tough pre-season training camp. Lockwood, Baverstock and Vucaj all played for Gwalia Lightning in the Celtic Challenge. Sean Lynn, Wales Head coach, said: “These are the 30 players who have impressed throughout our summer training camp, and they fully deserve selection for what we know will be an exciting but tough challenge against Australia. “Having Sisilia back and raring to go is a real boost for all the squad, coaches and staff. Seren, Katherine and Tilly really deserve their selection in the squad and have impressed us all with their rugby potential and attitude during pre-season. “All those selected have worked hard in pre-season and understand that we need to change and have an opportunity to show what they can do ahead of RWC 2025. “There are still World Cup places to play for and having coached against Jo Yapp, the Wallaroos coach, before at club level, we know her team will be well prepared and provide us with two tough and physical Test matches.” Centre Kerin Lake (shoulder), lock Natalia John (Calf) and centre Hannah Bluck (calf) were not considered for selection and will stay home to undergo a WRU rehab programme.
