Western Force utility back Harry Potter has received his maiden Wallabies call-up having been named in the squad for the upcoming Spring Tour in the northern hemisphere.
Potter headlines the list of eight Force players selected in the Wallabies group for the tour that includes matches against England, Wales, Scotland and Ireland.
The talented back, who can play wing or full-back, returned from a six-month layoff due to an ankle injury last month, including playing in the midfield for the Force’s recent South Africa tour.
Potter is selected alongside Ben Donaldson, Brandon Paenga-Amosa, Dylan Pietsch, Tom Robertson, Carlo Tizzano, Nic White and Jeremy Williams.
There was further Force representation in the Australia XV squad selected for two games in the United Kingdom in November.
Five players in total were called up for that squad, namely Issak Fines-Leleiwasa, Harry Hoopert, Tom Horton, Hamish Stewart and Darcy Swain.
The squad’s first match will be against Bristol at the iconic Ashton Gate on Friday 8 November, 115 years after the first touring Australian team played a combined Bristol and Clifton team.
The following week, on Sunday 17 November, the side will take on England A at the Twickenham Stoop.
The Wallabies squad will assemble in Sydney over the weekend before departing for the United Kingdom on Thursday next week.
Wallabies coach Joe Schmidt said: “The squad has had a chance to regenerate over the last few weeks. At the same time, it was good to catch up with a wider group of players in the two-day training hubs we had in Canberra and Brisbane last week.”
“We have a relatively consistent group but will integrate a few new players on tour.
“Trying to balance opportunities for players, some recent squad members will get much needed game time with Australia XV, which also enables us to broaden our cohort of players in what will be highly competitive fixtures."
