SYDNEY - Uncapped wingers Nick Cummins and Dom Shipperley are in line to battle for a Wallabies debut after being named in a 31-man squad.

The training group will assemble in Perth on Sunday as they prepare to bounce back after being humbled 22-0 by New Zealand in Auckland last weekend.

Waratahs winger Drew Mitchell suffered a recurrence of an ankle tendon injury at Eden Park which ruled him out for the remainder of the season. If Adam Ashley-Cooper retains his place at fullback in preference to Kurtley Beale, Cummins and Shipperley are set to fight it out for one winger's spot given Digby Ioane is a certainty for the other.
