He deserves the spot from his spring tour form alone.
couple good home pace tempo trait tried weeks
Having had a couple of weeks at home now, we've tried to play with some good tempo (in our play), to really put some good pace on the game. You've got to back your skills, and I think it has always been a Brumbies trait to play at a good tempo.

They haven't started in a game as the inside backs, but they did a lot of training there over the summer.

They've got some specific strategies defensively and they work for 80 minutes, so there is certainly no easy way through them.

He's still struggling a bit with his neck and didn't train today (Thursday). We got an x-ray done and it came back pretty clear so we're hopeful he'll still be able to play. We hope to have him back on the training paddock tomorrow.
