Fraser McReight and Hunter Paisami return to Australia squad

Australia head coach Joe Schmidt has resisted against making any major changes to the squad for the penultimate round of the Rugby Championship game against New Zealand.

The encounter which will also be the part of the Bledisloe Cup sees the return of Queensland pair Fraser McReight and Hunter Paisami after they recovered from their respective injuries.

McReight sustained a fractured hand while Paisami was sidelined by a knee injury that he sustained during the game against South Africa in Perth.

The squad has only two uncapped players in Corey Toole and David Feliuai while Marika Koroibete remains the only overseas bound player in the squad.

Kurtley Beale, Charlie Cale, Filipo Daugunu, Harry Johnson-Holmes, Bayley Kuenzle, Rob Leota, Lachlan Lonergan, David Porecki, Blake Schoupp and Liam Wright are the players unavailable for selection due to injuries.

"After getting a much-needed win in the first Test, then making a good start in the second Test, we had a very disappointing final 40 minutes in Argentina," Schmidt said in a statement.

"The upcoming Bledisloe Test in Sydney offers a great opportunity to turn that poor finish around in front of what looks like being another big home crowd."

Australia are languishing at the bottom of the Rugby Championship table after losing three out of the four matches.
