Joe Schmidt's first squad as Wallabies coach features 13 uncapped players, as he looks to usher the Wallabies into a new era after a horror 2023.
One of those new names is Tom Lynagh, who has impressed as a fly-half for the Reds since joining the Super Rugby side in 2022.
However, it is not the first time a Lynagh has featured in the Wallabies set-up, with Michael Lynagh playing a key role in the Wallabies' success in the early 1990s.
