Penrith duo Reagan Campbell-Gillard and Tyrone Peachey have been selected in the Kangaroos squad to play New Zealand and Tonga later this month.
It is the first time Peachey has been selected to represent Australia.
South Sydney’s Greg Inglis has been appointed Captain following the Representative retirement of Cameron Smith.
“This is a new era for the Kangaroos and it is a very exciting one, based on the talent available,” Kangaroos Coach Mal Meninga said.
“There is certainly a strong showing from the NSW squad which won the State of Origin series and we have a number of players who performed exceptionally well through the Finals Series as well as in the Grand Final.”
Australia plays New Zealand on October 13 and Tonga on October 20 at Mt Smart Stadium.
