(Reuters) - Rugby Australia will look into its "Giteau Law" criteria to expand its eligibility laws and broaden its pool of players for Wallabies selection, chief executive Andy Marinos said.

The Giteau Law allows players not attached to Australian Super Rugby teams to be eligible for Wallabies selection if they have played in more than 60 tests and spent seven seasons in Australia. The rule was implemented in 2015.
