With Munster ruled out of the end of season Test matches due to surgery, it will leave the door open for a few others to get a green and gold jersey.
I would love to see Cody Walker earn himself that honour to tick that box in his career to have played for Australia.
The contenders for the Aussie number 6 jumper would likely be Cody, Dearden and Matt Burton at the head of the cue. Jack Wighton possibly too if he chose to come out of rep retirement. Mal might pick 2 and have one as understudy.
A big finish to the season for Cody could get him over the line but at the minute, I'd say the other 2 might be just ahead of him on current form.
Something to keep an eye on though.
