Cheika has also recalled Europe-based Sekope Kepu and Taqele Naiyaravoro.
“We've been working with an initial squad of 60 players we identified, which has been reduced to 39 for this camp,” Cheika said via an Australian Rugby Union media release.
“We'll trim that number down to 30 for each Test, so competition for spots is everything.
“Our first week in camp will target a high intensity training attitude, building on combinations within that environment. We want to build on the identity we've worked hard on establishing over the past 18 months.”
