Clint Gutherson and Victor Radley could be in line for surprise rugby league Test debuts after being called into the Kangaroos squad.
Parramatta fullback Gutherson and Sydney Roosters forward Radley were on Sunday named in an extended 20-man squad for the Test against Tonga in Auckland on Saturday.
Coach Mal Meninga made the selection to widen his options after the 26-4 win over New Zealand in Wollongong on Friday night.
“Victor was exceptional for the Junior Kangaroos on Friday and Clint was extremely impressive in the World Nines tournament,” Meninga said.
“Importantly both players can cover a number of positions.
“We’ll travel to Auckland with 20 players before making a decision on the final 17 later in the week.”
Australia squad: Josh Addo-Carr, Daly Cherry-Evans, Damien Cook, Boyd Cordner, Nick Cotric, Tyson Frizell , Wade Graham, Clint Gutherson, Payne Haas, Ben Hunt, David Klemmer, Latrell Mitchell, Cameron Munster, Cameron Murray, Josh Papalii, Victor Radley, James Tedesco, Jake Trbojevic, Paul Vaughan, Jack Wighton.
