Winger Lote Tuqiri will start his comeback from knee surgery this week when he begins fitness training with the Wallabies.

Australia's 34-man squad has assembled in Sydney for the third of four camps in the lead-up to the final Bledisloe Cup Test in Hong Kong later this month and the spring tour of Europe.

A decision on Tuqiri's fitness is expected to be made before the squad's departure in a fortnight's time.

Meanwhile scrum half Luke Burgess says he is confident of being fully fit for the Test against the All Blacks and will resume full contact training this week.
