Robbie Deans has gained rave reviews for ensuring Wallabies are seen at club level but Ryan Cross is waiting before giving his unqualified support.
Cross is one of seven Wallabies reserves coach Deans has released to clubland on Saturday, set to debut for Sydney's Eastern Suburbs after completing a hasty temporary transfer from University WA.
The Perth-based league convert is pleased to see some action in the Shute Shield but unsurprisingly remains wary about the risks lining up against Gordon at Chatswood Oval.
Already digesting the bittersweet taste of being left on the bench in what was expected to be his Test debut against Ireland, Cross knows injury could put him back to square one at a time he's a virtual certainty to get a cap on June 28 against France.

I think it's unfortunate but probably a wise move for his wallabies starting selection campaign.
I made Happy sad...
Yeah, hard to fit him in, what with the other five Force players at Uni....

It does make sense - although it doesn't bode well for us if there's a national comp in future...

Political correctness is a doctrine, fostered by a delusional, illogical minority, and rabidly promoted by an unscrupulous mainstream media, which holds forth the proposition that it is entirely possible to pick up a turd by the clean end.
So... how long's Cross on contract for?
I just ask because Easts have a certain coach who will be scoping him out this weekend![]()
Easts should have a decent backline this weekend with Rathbone set to return as well.
