Great to see a few old Aussie legends still getting a run at the International level.
I think most of them would make the Wallaby Train On Squad still too!
You could add Justin Harrison to that list too.
This is the kind of fixture the ARU should be attracting to try out new combinations and junior players rather than Tests.
Perhaps the ARU could arrange an annual Australian Invitational XV fixture with these type of expat Australians players topped up with a few Uncapped Australian based players for numbers, to allow the selectors to look at their full squad under pressure?
If played in Perth, I would go for sure if just to see some of the greats strap on a boot in Australia again!
