Reigning Wallaroos Player of the Year Tabua Tuinakauvadra is one of several returning stars named ahead of the upcoming WXV Global Series tour of Europe.

The Brumbies number eight is yet to feature in gold in 2026, dealing with separate knee injuries throughout the season.
Fellow Player of the Year winner Georgina Friedrichs is also back after her own injury setbacks.
She is joined by barnstorming prop Faliki Pohiva, who claimed Super Rugby Women Player of the Final for the Waratahs earlier in the year, and Reds lock Tiarah Minns.
Pacific Four series debutants Ella Ryan and Ava Wereta also return, with Piper Flynn added to the squad.
It comes with Maya Stewart (Achilles) ruled out for the European leg of the tour, while Maddison Levi and Bienne Terita will begin preparations for the Ultimate Sevens in Europe next month.
“The flight to England can’t come quick enough. The team is ready to test themselves against the best and close the performance gap," Director of High Performance Tim Walsh said.
“The Wallaroos' future is bright and the journey is a challenge we will embrace. The journey is where we will find our purpose, our growth, and our resilience.
“We are building a system to maximise talent and reach our potential and the goal is to compete and be the best in the world.
“The team selected for this tour is tilted towards youth with Rugby World Cup 2029 on the horizon whilst being surrounded by experienced veterans to lead the way.
“As they say in London ‘mind the gap’.”
The Wallaroos will depart for Manchester on Thursday to begin preparations for the Red Roses clash before Tests against France in Marseille (September 20) and Scotland in Edinburgh on September 27.
Following this, they will face the Scots in two home Tests in Sydney and Canberra, with the team off to Manchester on Thursday.
