"We"ve got so many great players in Australia, and it was a really special time to be part of the group. Once you"ve tasted it, it"s something you definitely want more of.
"Michael Cheika is creating a really strong bond between the players and it"s something I really want to be part of, not only during the upcoming Rugby Championship and Rugby World Cup, but for many years ahead.
