My star of the future award last week goes to the young Australian back rower, Sean McMahon, who was the standout player in an Australian team who put Uruguay to the sword. Sean is 21 years of age, plays for Melbourne Rebels and weighs 100kg. Unfortunately, he is competing for a starting spot against England in an Oz back row that already contains Fardy, McCalman and Pooper (Pocock and Hooper combined). Respect young man, you have a bright future.
Mind you it could be worse, he could play out wide and be competing against the best set of three quarters in the history of the game - Folau, Tomane, Mitchell, Speight, Giteau, Ashley Cooper, Foley, Genia, Phipps, Cooper, Kuridrani, Horne, Toomua and Beale (did I miss any?)
Let's hope England don't let Australia have quick ball on Saturday!
