# Rugby: Wallabies coach Joe Schmidt confirmed veteran prop James Slipper reversed his retirement, and included him in the squad for next month’s Nations Championship Tests against Ireland, France and Italy. The 37-year-old retired in October after a record 151 Tests for Australlia, but Schmidt asked him to return because of a front-row injury crisis. Schmidt also picked loosehead Angus Bell after a sabbatical with Ulster in Ireland, and included uncapped Declan Meredith, Lachlan Shaw and Miles Amatosero.
