2015 Bledisloe Cup game 1 squad

Wallabies coach Michael Cheika has named a squad of 31 players for the first Bledisloe Cup game in Sydney next Saturday night.

Returning to the squad are Number 8 Wycliff Palu, who was rested for the first two games, and Matt Giteau after suffering a sternum injury against South Africa in Brisbane. Henry Speight is back into the squad after serving his suspension from Super Rugby. Also in line for his debut is Melbourne Rebels prop Toby Smith who is the only uncapped member of the squad.

Despite signing a three-year deal with the Queensland Reds making him eligible for Wallabies selection, Kane Douglas has not been named in the squad.

The game is effectively a final with both the Wallabies and All Blacks undefeated and separated only by one point on points differential.
