Full-back berth for Mitchell
June 25, 2008 AUSTRALIA World Cup winger Drew Mitchell will look to push his Test claims from full-back when he lines up for Australia A against Fiji in Brisbane on Sunday.
Mitchell will start as one of 12 Test caps in the side after returning from injury with two tries off the A's bench against Tonga last weekend.
Coach Phil Mooney has retained the same pack which thumped Tonga 90-7 and league convert Timana Tahu will again play inside centre.
Queensland half-back Ben Lucas has been given his chance to push for a Tri-Nations squad berth, while Mark Gerrard is back from injury on the bench.

Well deserved, will be good to see how he goes and, if he shows enough diversity in his playing style, if he can make it back in the squad.
Would prefer to see him play as a winger for the Wallabies though and give Lote a run for his money.

BOKKE“Let me put it this way, A Springbok team contains Afrikaners, Englishmen, coloureds and blacks. It has parochial foes in Bulls, Sharks, Stormers, Cheetahs and Lions. It is a recipe for war! Yet in all the years of John Smit’s captaincy, there has never been one unhappy customer, not one voice of rebellion against his leadership. He is the glue that holds the Springboks together. The man is a legend!”- Jake White

Drew can so totally do anything!!!!!
Put him in the Wallabies for this week- much better replacement for Dunning than Baxtar.
