Potential Wallabies test debutant Samu Kerevi said Camp Wallaby is abuzz with talk of a big‑bodied centre combination as Michael Cheika continues to mix and match his backline options.
The Australian side will have all‑new centres for the series opener against England at Brisbane's Suncorp Stadium next Saturday.
But the big question that everyone is asking is who will line up in the No.12 and No.13 jerseys which remains as one of Cheika's biggest selection headaches across a squad full of intrigue and mystery.
The players who are competing in this two spots including Kerevi, code‑switchers Karmichael Hunt, Israel Folau, Tevita Kuridrani, and Brumbies skipper Christian Lealiifano.
Cheika has to decide if he wants his No.12 to be a second playmaker like Hunt or Lealiifano, or delegate that role to the fullback and go for another bruising linebreaker in the mould of Kerevi, Folau or Kuridrani.
The Wallabies will meet England at 10pm next Saturday.
Meanwhile in other tests next Saturday, the All Blacks will face Wales at 7.35pm while Samoa will face Georgia at 3pm.
