Les Kiss has finalised his Wallabies squad for the November Nations Championship fixtures, adding three backs to the touring party.<\/p>\n
Most notably, 95-Test cap utility back Kurtley Beale has been recalled to the squad, with the veteran playmaker replacing Hunter Paisami, who has withdrawn for personal reasons.<\/p>\n
Beale was last named in a Wallabies<\/a> squad in 2024 before an Achilles injury prematurely ended his season, but he will be looking to earn his first Test cap since facing Wales in Cardiff in 2021.<\/p>\n Les Kiss adds three players<\/p>\n The 37-year-old back is renowned for his ability to cover multiple positions including centre, fly-half and full-back. He will also provide the Wallabies with place-kicking ability.<\/p>\n He is added to the squad along with outside back James Ramm and scrum-half Kalani Thomas. Ramm will link with the Western Force ahead of 2027 Super Rugby Pacific season, joining the group having most recently played a key role in Northland\u2019s run to the NPC final in New Zealand. The 28-year-old who can play fullback and wing, was also part of the Northampton Saints squads that won the PREM Rugby title last season and in 2023\/24.<\/p>\n As for Thomas, he will join the squad after fulfilling his commitments with Australia A in the United States with Tate McDermott expected to have to return to Australia for the arrival of his first child back during November.<\/p>\n Beale will bring so much-needed playmaking experience to the Wallabies squad that has been ravaged by injuries at fly-half throughout this year. However, head coach Kiss<\/a> confirmed that he is likely to feature mostly as an inside centre for Australia next month.<\/p>\n \u201cWith Hunter\u2019s unavailability we\u2019re excited by what Kurtley can bring to the group,\u201d he said. \u201cHe\u2019s got 95 caps worth of Test<\/a> experience and whilst he will primarily cover inside centre he has the versatility to play a number of positions across the backline.<\/p>\n \u201cKurtley\u2019s also been in great form for the Western Force in Super Rugby Pacific and Super Rugby AUS and is excited to contribute to the environment.\u201d<\/p>\n Commenting on Ramm, Kiss added: \u201cAt the same time, James is a player we\u2019ve kept a keen eye on for a while and his form for Northland has been exceptional in recent times.<\/p>\n \u201cHe\u2019s someone who knows the UK well having spent a very successful period with Northampton and can cover multiple positions across the backline.\u201d<\/p>\n Wallabies v All Blacks: \u2018Jewel in Australia\u2019s sporting crown\u2019 to host Bledisloe Cup as \u2018multi-year agreement\u2019 struck<\/a><\/p>\n Finalised Wallabies squad for the November internationals<\/p>\n Forwards: Allan Alaalatoa, Miles Amatosero, Angus Bell, Josh Canham, Massimo De Lutiis, Tom Hooper, Isaac Kailea, Tom Lambert, Fraser McReight, Josh Nasser, Brandon Paenga-Amosa, Billy Pollard, Lukhan Salakaia-Loto, Lachlan Shaw, Carlo Tizzano, Taniela Tupou, Rob Valetini, Jeremy Williams, Harry Wilson<\/p>\n Backs: Kurtley Beale, Filipo Daugunu, Ben Donaldson, Carter Gordon, Isaac Henry, Len Ikitau, Max Jorgensen, Ryan Lonergan, Tate McDermott, Declan Meredith, Harry Potter, James Ramm, Joseph-Aukuso Suaalii, Kalani Thomas, Teddy Wilson, Tom Wright<\/p>\n Unavailable for selection: Charlie Cale, Josh Flook, Langi Gleeson, Jake Gordon, Hunter Paisami, Matt Philip, Pete Samu, Will Skelton<\/p>\n Ex-Wallabies boss\u2019 big Mark Nawaqanitawase prediction as returning star urged to make \u2018clear statement\u2019 over Test future<\/a><\/p>\n England v Australia<\/p>\n Date: Sunday, 8 November 2026 Want more from Planet Rugby?
