The return of several key players from injury and two new debutants headlines the Wallaroos squad for the July series - with head coach Jo Yapp looking to make her final adjustments ahead of selecting her World Cup squad.
Fresh off their strong performances for Australia A in their 50-22 win over Manusina, young guns Waiaria Ellis and Caitlin Urwin have earned the call up to the senior squad as the only two potential debutants.

However, in better signs for the Wallaroos, several key stars are also set to return from injury and push their case for World Cup selection - with Piper Duck and Samantha Wood back from long stints on the sidelines.
Duck's inclusion is a particularly welcome one, with the Waratah loose forward looking back to her best for Australia A and adding imposing depth in the loose forwards for Yapp.
Maya Stewart is also set to make her return in Wallaroo gold after a knee injury against Fiji saw the star winger miss out on the Pacific Four Series.
These key returns have meant that Manu’a Moleka, Arabella McKenzie, Sally Fuesaina and Alapeta Ngauamo, who enjoyed strong hitouts in Canberra, will miss out on the main squad for the time being - growing signs of the depth available to Yapp.
Aside from these changes, the Wallaroo coach has opted for a large chunk of her squad from the Pacific Four series - with a relatively unchanged front three, second row and centre options.
Sevens stars Charlotte Caslick and Tia Hinds have retained their starting positions, with prop Brianna Hoy also back in the side after recovering from a knee injury.
"Our June camps and the Australia A game have set up a strong platform as we head into the next three Test matches in preparation for the Rugby World Cup," Yapp said.
"We're excited about the squad selected with players returning from injury and the likes of Caitlin Urwin and Waiaria Ellis deserving of their opportunity to take the next step with us this year.
"New Zealand will provide another physical challenge and playing Wales twice on home soil leading into the World Cup will lay a good foundation ahead of the tournament."
The July series serves as the final preparation time for the Wallaroos, with their second O'Reilly Cup clash against the Black Ferns in Wellington and a two Test series against Wales in Brisbane and Sydney, the final home matches of the year.
