Teddy Wilson, Son of World Cup-Winner David, Gets Wallabies Call-Up

On Friday, Wallabies coach Les Kiss named rookie halfback Teddy Wilson in a 33-man squad for the Nations Championship tour, selecting the 23-year-old as backup to Ryan Lonergan and Tate McDermott.
Twenty-Seven years after his father helped Australia win the 1999 Rugby World Cup, Wilson follows in the footsteps of former Wallaby David Wilson, earning his first senior international selection.
Overseas-Based stars Taniela Tupou and Tom Hooper return to the squad, alongside flyhalf Carter Gordon and midfielder Len Ikitau, who rejoin after missing recent tests due to injury or international release constraints.
Australia departs for London on Saturday, October 24, preparing for four demanding matches, starting with England at Twickenham on November 8 followed by Scotland and Wales.
With Australia hosting the Rugby World Cup in one year, Kiss aims to use the tour to test new combinations and strengthen team connections while building depth across the board.
