Marika Koroibete is one of three potential debutants in Wallabies coach Michael Cheika's 32‑man squad following Samu Kerevi bowing out of the Spring Tour due to an ankle injury.

Kerevi will miss the Wallabies' spring tour as he will be undergoing ankle surgery.

The Wallabies begin their spring campaign against Wales in Cardiff early next month, with Cheika determined to overcome a horror form stretching back to last year's World Cup final defeat.

Saturday's 37‑10 Bledisloe Cup loss to New Zealand was the seventh in a row to the All Blacks, and the eighth in Australia's last 11 Tests against all opposition.

The Wallabies' squad leaves for the United Kingdom on Friday night.

Wallabies 32‑man squad for 2016 Spring Tour: Allan Alaalatoa, Rory Arnold, Adam Coleman, Quade Cooper, Kane Douglas, Scott Fardy, Israel Folau, Bernard Foley, Nick Frisby, Will Genia, Kyle Godwin*, James Hanson, Dane Haylett‑Petty, Reece Hodge , Michael Hooper, Sekope Kepu, Marika Koroibete*, Tevita Kuridrani, Tolu Latu*, Sean McMahon, Stephen Moore, Dean Mumm, Sefanaia Naivalu, Nick Phipps, David Pocock, Tom Robertson, Rob Simmons, Scott Sio, Will Skelton, Henry Speight, James Slipper, Lopeti Timani.
