Sevens star Charlotte Caslick poised to make her debut appearance for the Wallaroos

Six uncapped players, including Sevens star Charlotte Caslick, have been named in the Wallaroos squad for Saturday’s Test against Fijiana in Suva.

Sevens star Charlotte Caslick is poised to make her Wallaroos debut after being named on Australia’s bench for Saturday’s Test against Fijiana in Suva on Saturday.

Caslick, a 30-year-old three-time Olympian, is one of six uncapped players in Australia’s 23-strong squad, with her Sevens teammate Tia Hinds also set for a debut after also being named among the Wallaroos’ reserves.

Wallaroos coach Jo Yapp said every potential debutant was “deserving of their opportunity”.

“This Test match will allow us to see some new combinations,” Yapp said.

“There are plenty of inspiring stories with the new players coming in, as well as some who are returning from long-term injury.

“Fijiana will provide us with a huge challenge in their own country. The fan support will be on their side and we look forward to playing them here in Suva for the first time.”

Flanker Siokapesi Palu will captain the Wallaroos, who also play Tests this month against New Zealand (May 10, Newcastle), USA (May 17, Canberra) and Canada (May 23, Brisbane) in the Pacific Four Series.

Australia will then return to action in July for Tests against New Zealand and Wales, and will meet the Welsh again in August before starting its Women’s Rugby World Cup campaign in England later that month against Samoa.
