Queensland Origin captain Greg Inglis has been named as Australia Kangaroos captain for the upcoming internationals against New Zealand and Tonga.

Fresh from last night’s Grand Final victory, the Sydney Roosters have fullback James Tedesco, second-rower Boyd Cordner and centre Latrell Mitchell named in the squad.ย  Melbourne will be represented by forward Felise Kaufusi and five-eighth Cameron Munster.ย  Munster may be in trouble with the Match Review Committee for striking, late in their Grand Final loss to the Roosters.
