Wallabies call up former All Black
SQUAD UPDATE: The Wallabies on Monday called up a former All Black prop ahead of the third Test against the British and Irish Lions.
Prop Aidan Ross has been included in the Wallabies camp, while wing Harry Potter was ruled out injured.
Ross, who was born in Australia before moving to New Zealand as a child, will join the squad as the Wallabies try to avoid a 3-0 series whitewash in Sydney on Saturday.
The B&I Lions won the first Test in Brisbane 27-19 and the second at Melbourne 29-26.

“Aidan Ross will join the squad in Sydney to help the team prepare for the final Test of the British and Irish Lions series,” the Wallabies said on social media.
“Harry Potter will remain in Melbourne after sustaining a hamstring injury.”
Ross played his sole Test for the All Blacks in July 2022 against Ireland and has now completed World Rugby’s mandatory three-year gap before switching allegiances.
The 29-year-old has been with the Chiefs since 2017, but he will switch to the Reds next season.
Potter started the second Test against last weekend, but hobbled off 20 minutes into the game with replacement scrumhalf Tate McDermott playing as wing.
Wallabies coach Joe Schmidt has several options to replace Potter, including Dylan Pietsch, Filipo Daugunu and Corey Toole.
