The Junior Wallabies have confirmed a 40-player squad for their opening camp of 2023.
It has been trimmed from the 48-player squad named after the U16 and U19 Championships last year, set to convene for a training camp at the AIS from 26 February to 5 March.

The camp is the first for the year ahead of the U20 World Championships in South Africa starting late June, with the main addition from November's announcement flyhalf Tom Lynagh.
Lynagh made his first run-on appearance for the Reds last week, with the son of legendary Wallaby Michael spending last season in Queensland club rugby with UQ.
The squad is littered with talent that has shone during the Super Rugby Pacific trials, headlined by teenage sensation Max Jorgensen.
Jorgensen has started in both trials for the Waratahs, scoring in the victory over the Queensland Reds with a nice step and show of pace to get past Wallaby Filipo Daugunu.
He is joined by Waratahs teammates Jack Bowen and Teddy Wilson as part of 12 NSW selections, who are both set to feature in Saturday's final hit-out against Shute Shield clubs Western Sydney and West Harbour.
Lynagh's Reds teammates Taj Annan, Floyd Aubrey and Harry McLaughlin-Philips are also included, with McLaughlin-Philips scoring a double against the Force at the start of the month playing out of position on the wing.
Backrower Daniel Maiava has been named as one of seven Rebels, having made his Super Rugby debut in 2022.
Flyer Darby Lancaster was not considered due to his Sevens commitments, set to be named in John Manenti's squad to travel to Los Angeles and Vancouver at the end of the month.
"It's exciting to name such a strong squad while also knowing we still have a number of players working their way back from injury," head coach Nathan Grey said. "
"Many of the young players selected showcased their skills at the National U19 Championships late last year, while others have been named on the back of a strong pre-season period for their clubs.
"With the disruptions of the last few years behind us, I'm looking forward to bringing the group together in Canberra and stepping up preparations for a huge 2023."
