The squad will assemble in camp at The Southport School on the Gold Coast from the 9th to the 12th of December.
It will be coached by Rugby Australia High-Performance staff, along with Rugby Australia support staff.
This will include current Junior Wallabies Head Coach Nathan Grey, and Junior Wallabies assistant coaches Nic Henderson and Shannon Fraser, with a focus on building individual skills whilst focusing on mental and physical preparation.
As expected, the Waratahs dominate the squad with 17 selections after they went unbeaten throughout the tournament.
This includes lock Zion Poitaha, who was named Player of the Final after a powerful display at Pittwater Park.
He is joined by teenage sensation Zach Fittler and fullback Mitchell Woods
There are five Reds selections in the team, headlined by centre Prestyn Laine-Sietu.
Laine-Sietu finished the season with four tries, only trailing Woods, selected alongside front-row duo Princeton Ioane and Ewald Kruger.
Force trio Luke Holt-Brown, Manaia Te Tana and Christoffel Jansen along with Brumbies duo Jeziah Sega and Bailey Bouquiaux round out the side.
