Wallabies coach Joe Schmidt has named one uncapped player in a 40-man squad for a three-day camp from 8 January.
The players will then return to their Super Rugby Pacific teams ahead of the 2025 season.
The group is made up of 22 forwards and 18 backs, with all bar the uncapped Massimo De Lutiis, having pulled on the gold jersey during this year’s campaign.
The camp will have a number of purposes, including a debrief of the 2024 Test season as well as conducting medical and physical testing on players prior to their return to their Super Rugby Pacific Clubs from annual leave.
“These two and a half days provide a final opportunity to look back at the 2024 season, particularly our Tests in November, then have a quick glance at the programme for 2025,” said Schmidt.
“It’s also a chance for the Wallabies performance and medical staff to facilitate testing before the players from the spring tour officially restart with their Super Rugby Pacific sides.
“As well as those in camp, it’s great to see a number of players coming back from injury and others who did well for the Australia XV team, who we are looking forward to watching during the upcoming Super Rugby Pacific season.”
