He's good but he's not good enough to carry an entire team. If we are reliant on him to do magic we've already lost.he might literally be the difference between a competitive series and not
Aussie v Aussie...Sione will be ready for him.

Joseph-Aukuso Suaalii: I'll be fit for British and Irish Lions tour
Australia starJoseph-Aukuso Suaalii says he is close to full fitness after a jaw operation raised doubts over whether he would be available to face the Lions this summer.www.bbc.co.uk
Would take Kerevi over PaisamiLooks like no Kerevi for the Lions then. Skelton in, though.
Samu is a bit of a luxury player who is harder to accomodate at test level IMO. A great bench option.Just clocked no other players outside of Skelton are from Clubs outside Aus.
Suspect we will see some more included later. (Still feel Samu will get a call up espcially if UBB win the top 14, having a guy starting for the champions of Europe and Top 14 you would be crazy not to have him in the squad)
Guess Schmidt is saying to the young local lads here is your chance impress me and I'll pick you.

Not much between him and Gleeson/Hooper and Schmidt has always said if its a tight call it will always go to the local players (although both are leaving right as they hit career best form).
Bold and insightful. Inspiring stuff.The Wallabies are nowhere near strong enough in terms of depth to compete with the Lions. I reckon 3-0 is more likely than not at this stage.
