Australia expand squad

Justin Harrison: Rewarded with a senior squad call-up

Utility forward Mark Connors, lock Justin Harrison and winger Graeme Bond have been added to an expanded Australian squad for Saturday's deciding Test against the Lions.

Coach Rod Macqueen said he decided to name a 25-man squad for the Test at Stadium Australia in Sydney because the Wallabies had a few injury concerns.

Fly-half Stephen Larkham has a shoulder problem and second rower David Giffin has injured ribs, although both are confident of proving their fitness.

The Australian starting line-up will be named on Wednesday.

Australia squad: Nick Stiles, Michael Foley, Rod Moore, David Giffin, John Eales (captain), Owen Finegan, George Smith, Toutai Kefu, George Gregan, Stephen Larkham, Joe Roff, Nathan Grey, Daniel Herbert, Andrew Walker, Matthew Burke, Brendan Cannon, Ben Darwin, Matt Cockbain, David Lyons, Chris Whitaker, Elton Flatley, Chris Latham, Mark Connors, Graeme Bond, Justin Harrison.
