# Rugby: Wallabies head coach Joe Schmidt released Hunter Paisami and Matt Faessler to the Reds for next week’s match against the British and Irish Lions. The tourists warned Australia earlier it would be in breach of contract if it doesn’t allow its Test players to play against them in midweek matches. The decision was reached during a meeting between Rugby Australia’s CEO, Phil Waugh, and Lions CEO Ben Calveley. Another six Reds players are staying with the Wallabies for next weekend’s warm-up Test against Fiji in Newcastle.
