The Wallabies will play England, Scotland and Wales as part of the second edition of the Nations Championship, with a final against a yet-to-be-determined Six Nations opponent scheduled for Twickenham on the final weekend of November.
Wilson, the son of former Wallabies flanker David Wilson, was one of two uncapped players named in an otherwise settled squad. The other is Queensland prop Tom Lambert, who joined the squad after being called up at the expense of Reds loosehead Aidan Ross, who started against the All Blacks last weekend.
Lambert is currently on tour with Australia A and will play against a USA XV in Nashville on Sunday before joining the Wallabies in London. Lock Miles Amatosero will also link up with the squad in the UK.
Coach Les Kiss said the squad includes several players returning from injury or suspension who missed the recent Bledisloe Cup defeats to New Zealand. Star five-eighth Carter Gordon has recovered from a broken leg suffered in Argentina and joins a No.10 group that includes Declan Meredith and Ben Donaldson, who is fit again after a groin injury. Midfielders Len Ikitau (concussion) and Hunter Paisami (suspension) have also been named.
Overseas-based players Taniela Tupou and Tom Hooper return for November, which is covered by Regulation 9 release windows, after missing the Bledisloe series. Nick Champion De Crespigny and Jock Campbell were omitted.
Halfback Tate McDermott was named in the squad but may return to Australia as his partner is due to give birth in November. Kalani Thomas, who debuted for the Wallabies in Sydney last weekend, is on standby and will also play for Australia A in the United States.
“There’s a real buzz among the squad as we prepare for what will be four incredibly demanding matches against high-quality opposition as part of the November Nations Championship Tests,” Kiss said in a statement.
“As coaches, we’ve made some tough selection calls to keep building depth across the board and we know a tour like this will challenge the whole squad on many levels. This Tour gives us another valuable opportunity to test new combinations, strengthen our existing connections and push our game forward in all areas.”
The Wallabies depart for London next Saturday, with their opening match against England on November 9.
