Drew Mitchell into the wallabies backline?

Why isn't drew in the wallabies squad? He played really well against the lions for the tahs and is so experienced at fullback and wing with a huge kick and great decision making. Then there are guys like Horne and maccabe who add nothing to wallabies attack. What do you think?Why isn't drew in the wallabies squad?

The squad was picked before the NSW game. He had his best game this year in that Lions game. I feel fullback is where he should be but Folau has that spot cemented. Deans has picked Horne and McCabe as his 12s not a posiition Mitchell plays. I do agree with you. I would have liked to see Cooper at 10, O'Connor at 12. But no Cooper so what I imagine the backline to be Barnes 10 and McCabe 12 and it won't matter who plays in the other backline positions.

Hes sort of a forgotten player in Aussie rugby Drew Mitchell. Yes, he was good against the Lions and he is strong at breaking tackles -- maybe he left his good form to late to impress Deans.
