Teddy Wilson, the son of former Wallabies captain and 1999 Rugby World Cup winner David Wilson, has been named in the Australia squad for November's Nations Championships Tests.The 24-year-old scrum-half, who captained his country at the 2023 Under-20 World Championships, has been in fine form for the Waratahs and will, along with Tate McDermott, back up first-choice nine Ryan Lonergan.David Wilson played 79 times for Australia and started at open-side flanker in their World Cup final win over France at Cardiff's Millennium Stadium in 1999.Teddy revealed that David's jersey from the match is on display at the family home, but added that his father, who moved to Harlequins in 2000 and has subsequently moved into business, has not pushed his children to follow his sporting path."Dad doesn't really put much pressure on myself, he's been there and done that, obviously, so he definitely tells me a few things and helps me a lot," said Teddy."He just lets me play my game and if he needs to say something, he will."Forwards: Allan Alaalatoa, Miles Amatosero, Angus Bell, Josh Canham, Massimo de Lutiis, Tom Hooper, Isaac Kailea, Tom Lambert, Fraser McReight, Josh Nasser, Brandon Paenga-Amosa, Billy Pollard, Lukhan Salakaia-Loto, Lachlan Shaw, Carlo Tizzano, Taniela Tupou, Rob Valetini, Jeremy Williams, Harry Wilson (c)Backs: Filipo Daugunu, Ben Donaldson, Carter Gordon, Isaac Henry, Len Ikitau, Max Jorgensen, Ryan Lonergan, Tate McDermott, Declan Meredith, Hunter Paisami, Harry Potter, Joseph-Aukuso Suaalii, Teddy Wilson, Tom Wright
