Wallabies coach Robbie Deans is releasing four national squad members to play for the NSW Waratahs and Brumbies against the British and Irish Lions ahead of Saturday week's first Test.
Waratahs captain Dave Dennis and inside centre Rob Horne will leave the Wallabies camp at Caloundra in Queensland on Thursday night to join up with their state side ahead of Saturday night's clash with the Lions at Allianz Stadium.
And the Brumbies pair of utility forward Peter Kimlin and prop Scott Sio return to Canberra on Friday and will remain there until after the Brumbies' match against the Lions on Tuesday night.
All four players will return to the Wallabies squad after the tour matches as preparations continue in Brisbane for the opening match of the three-Test series at Suncorp Stadium on June 22.
Australian Sevens representatives Bernard Foley and Matt Lucas were on Wednesday released from their duties with that national side so they can also feature in Saturday night's tour match.
The NSW Waratahs team to play the Lions will be announced on Friday.
