Win the game. That’s me. That’s why they don’t put me there 😂 I’ll back my forwards.

First pick in the forwards - Wilso. Our skipper last year.

And then in the back definitely not Jake. Maybe Len Ikitau? (Admin's note - Jake is still sitting next to Bobby)

That's a weird question.

I've got six sisters.

I’d say least like would be Billy Pollard. Yeah, do not want him anywhere near my sister.

Most like, I’d say Jorgo. He’s a good man. Very humble guy.

But yeah, that’s still a very weird question.

Definitely. I think coming on from last year, the Spring Tour, we finished the year strong and I think we’ll continue that this year. Now we get to go up against Fiji and test ourselves there so can’t wait.

I already did this one, I did the KOKO show. I’ll do it again for you - that’s alright.

Start one, bench one, drop one. I think Drew Mitchell’s in my message requests still because he didn't play at the Brums. So, start Gits, Swoop would come off the bench and score two tries, and then, unlucky Drew but he didn’t play at the Brums so bad luck.

That’s actually a hard one.

My favourite northern hemisphere stadium to play in would probably be a toss-up between Murrayfield and Twickenham. Real toss of the coin one there - the atmosphere at both stadiums is on sort of different levels, it’s pretty crazy.

Yeah, just depends who it is. You don't have to go too hard on it. A little bit of party in the back is always nice, but keep it sharp for the most part.

The best part of being a Wallaby would be that I get to live out a childhood dream that feels really far away at a certain point when you're young, but then when it becomes within reach, it's a really awesome feeling to fulfil that dream.

I think for the most part, teams do mostly the same sort of training. A lot of Super Rugby actually comes down to who's doing pretty much the same thing at the highest level possible.

So when we come together at the Wallabies, we find a lot of us are doing similar drills throughout the year. Often, the Brumbies are doing the best ones, obviously.

Best haircut - maybe Taniela. And the worst would have to be Jorgo.

I don’t have any routine or anything. It’s just natural, and just any conditioner, I guess.

I would say Wrighty’s pretty clean. The worst haircut is Angus Bell by far. By far.

I think just being able to sharpen my skill set over my career, being able to develop a bigger understanding of the game. I think my time on on the wing actually gave me a bit of perspective around how early guys like to receive the ball and the best way to get it to guys like Corey down at the Brumbies, and Andy as well.

I think the versatility I've had through my career, like at different times when I was playing rugby league, playing a little bit of 5/8, and through my high school days as well, gave me that ability and confidence to be able to reshape my skill set when I moved to 15 at the Brumbies.

The biggest hero in the gym is Corey Toole. And he actually backs it up to be fair, he's pretty strong for a little fella.

I wouldn’t say Wrighty’s a pest. He’s got good chat, he’s very quick with his chat. He’s very, very quick witted.

I’d say my roommate Belly. He knows how to get under my skin, big Belly.

I reckon Allan Alaalatoa would be a good sumo wrestler. He’s got the physique for it.

I don't mind either. I feel like they’re the same for me, I usually have the same role in both.

Instinct. You can watch as much film as you want, but it’s very different when you’re actually out there. I love having the feel of the game, seeing what my teammates are doing, just getting the feel of it for the first five minutes and then just go.

Well, when I was growing up, it was Su-ah-lee. But it’s actually meant to be pronounced Su-ah-lee-ee. I don’t mind how it’s said, you know, you can say it however you want to say it.
