Test veteran Bernard Foley has made a shock return to the Wallabies set-up after three years in the international wilderness.
The 32-year-old flyhalf last played for Australia at the 2019 World Cup, then walked away from Rugby Australia to take his career to Japan.
He led the Kubota Spears to the League One semi-finals this year, and is now back on deck to represent his country in the green and gold.

Foley has been named in a 35-man squad for the series against South Africa, which kicks off in Adelaide on August 27.
He is one of a large number of additions to the list that got beaten by Argentina on Sunday.
The Wallabies welcome back Andrew Kellaway, Angus Bell, Scott Sio, Allan Alaalatoa, Hunter Paisami, and David Porecki, who have all been out with injury and personal reasons.
NSW Waratahs backrower Langi Gleeson has also been named in the squad for the first time. He and Reds fullback Jock Campbell will both be hoping to make their Wallabies debuts against the Springboks.

"We know that respect is earned daily and we'll be doing everything we can to ensure we put in performances that are worthy of that respect in Adelaide and Sydney."
