Writing in the Sydney Morning Herald, Greg Growden ponders the Wallabies' possible tour squad.
"It is known that Deans is still some way off from determining who will tour and who will stay behind, but those who are able to back-up after Tests and play in the two midweek matches - against Leicester Tigers on November 9 and Munster the following week - will have an advantage.
"Deans is treating these midweek games as serious Test trials, as shown during last year's spring tour when Quade Cooper used the Gloucester match, where he excelled against Carlos Spencer, to push his way into the Wallabies starting XV. And Deans will certainly not be treating the midweek team as the Australia B line-up."
