Carter Gordon added to Wallabies squad for Japan and Europe tests

On October 13, 2025, Carter Gordon, 24-year-old fly-half, was named in the Wallabies' 34-player touring squad for five Tests in Japan and Europe.
After being released by the Gold Coast Titans, Gordon signed a three-year deal with the Queensland Reds and Rugby Australia, clearing his path back to union.
Gordon had previously played eight Tests for Australia and appeared in one NRL match due to a back injury; he is one of two No.10 options alongside Tane Edmed, with Tom Lynagh on a recovery programme.
Gordon's signing and recall bolster playmaking depth for both the Wallabies and the Reds, strengthening Australia's depleted stocks ahead of next month’s tour, Rugby Australia said.
Aidan Ross and Kalani Thomas were named as uncapped additions, and several squad members will link up in Tokyo after the Japan XV match on October 18, with Joe Schmidt saying he may add overseas players during the World Rugby Regulation 9 window.
