Bernard Foley returns to Wallabies squad for South Africa Tests after three-year absence

• Australia bolstered by a number of returning players
• Veteran James O'Connor a surprise omission on 35-man list

Bernard Foley has returned to the Wallabies fold three years after his last Test with the veteran playmaker joining the squad for two Rugby Championships clashes with South Africa.

Coach Dave Rennie has named a 35-strong player squad for Tests in Adelaide and Sydney, but skipper Michael Hooper remains absent following his withdrawal from the Argentina leg due to mental health reasons. Veteran five-eighth James O'Connor is also a surprise omission.
