With the Lions tour fast approaching, certain players of Wallaby-calibre are getting no spotlight.
This may be due to featuring in a less prominent team or having ‘gernation next’ (Kurtley Beale, Quade Cooper, James O’Connor) playing in their position.
Kyle Godwin
Godwin been a revelation at the Force, coming through the ranks of the Australian schoolboys and then rising to represent the Australian under 20s.
The flyhalf/inside centre/fullback will have his versatility tested in his second year of Super Rugby.
Another great running flyhalf in the making, with the ability to draw defenders and make space wide, as well as the ability to make a fantastic offload with his deceptive runs.
Hugh McMeniman
Already boasting 21 Test caps, the lock/No.6 has been hampered with injuries. He looked to be plagued again this year, but scans revealed he will only need six weeks rest, hopefully returning for Round 14 in the Super Rugby.
He brings powerful running and distribution skills, dominant defence, can be an extra jumper in line outs and, most importantly, brings ‘mongrel’.
Would love to see him back in time for the Lions tour, we will surely need him.
Caderyn Neville
A talented rower who joined Manly RFC to play as a hobby with his mates. Neville debuted mid way through the 2012 season and has been quick to establish himself as one of the top lock forwards within Australia.
A fantastic set piece taker who is able to cause chaos in any lineout.
Mitch Inman
Inman debuted with the Western Force and then joined the Rebels to link up with ex-Sydney Uni Coach Damien Hill.
Inman is the ideal outside centre – pace, hard running angles that are sure to bend opposition defence and dominant defence of his own.
Beau Robinson
Phil Waugh’s ‘mini me’; tough, brave and courageous are the words that jump to mind. A formidable character, who brings mongrel to the breakdown and dominance in defence.
Beau was overshadow by Waugh’s dominance in the No.7 sky blue jersey. In 2011 he moved to the Reds and, after a lot of hard work, formed a great pilfering partnership with Liam Gill.
It’s poor timing for him, with our stocks very high in the openside department.
