Wallabies coach Dave Rennie has chosen Japan-based backs Quade Cooper, Samu Kerevi and Marika Koroibete as his overseas-based players for the England series
Dave Rennie’s full squad to be announced on Sunday
The Japan-based trio were all absent from the November clash when England ran out 32-15 winners but return to bolster Rennie’s ranks as the Wallabies seek to end an eight-match losing streak against Eddie Jones’s side.
“It’s probably not that secret anyway but we’ve got Quade, Samu and Marika all coming back,” Rennie said. “Quade and Samu are here in Sydney just getting medical checks and Marika went straight to Fiji to spend some time with his family and he’ll be back on the weekend. Marika is one of the best wingers in the world – I’m not sure there’s another winger with his work ethic and repeatability. He’s just top gear all day so we’re looking forward to getting that back.
