Didn’t realise he was that old. I assumed he was part of the 21 year old batch.

Daugunu is as good under the highball as any other winger. Koro might have some issues.
But I do agree Campbell probably isn't yet to test stand -- and I'd tend to not actually have him in a test team, but on form he's been the best fullback. He's a bit too old, yet inexperienced, and a bit average to be starting his test career IMO.

"I haven't watched him but I have strong opinions about him"....
Jock was the fullback of the competition, has been excellent in attack both in terms of his running play and offloading. His kicking from hand has been ok and he's had some issues with defence, mostly at wing.
I agree that he physically isn't up to playing the All Blacks in back-to-back weeks, but I think it's a crock of shit that people say there are "clearly" better options out there. None of them put their hand up week in week out and DHP has been injured for most of the season.
Banks is next in line but he's been bang on average and only TK has been a worse back for the Brumbies this season.

Re-read your post and be honest with how ridiculous it reads. You say you haven't watched him that much, that he makes mistakes and there's better options out there. Yet you don't post up who played better than Jock at fullback this season.
It just highlights how the coaches need to pick a mixture of inform and known potential who have delivered in the past.

[MOD] Play the ball, not the man!
Yes from my viewing of him, he makes mistakes and isn’t good enough to warrant making that number of mistakes and still be selected - Seems like the Wallaby coaches agree in some part otherwise he’d be in the Wallabies squad......but he isn’t
I don’t need to have an in-depth analysis of a player to have an opinion

Don't think he is nippy enough, if that makes sense. 10s have to be quick off the mark, very elusive when they run.

Such a shame he's heading over to France next year.

My understanding is that it’s only a 1yr deal and will resume his Rebels contract after that. Depending on SRAU start time he will be available for the back end of the season and therefore Wallabies.
I think Swinton calmed down a bit and did the work (in between dumb tackles from being overly excited - I read somewhere he is a head butt walls type of motivated unit)
I do not think he is near test standard at the moment, but he gets up off the ground and does stuff hard
Dempsey? He has more special moments, I think his issue is the gaps in between

Getting up and back into it quickly is one of Eddie Jones' key metrics, apparently.

If he can’t play fullback he’s got no chance of being a good flyhalf. He doesn’t have the game smarts IMO.
you don't think he's a good fullback?

If the rest of the team is doing that can you carry one or two blokes who might not have a consistent effort across the whole game but can do something game breaking?
I can't imagine any coach/selector would look at those performances on the wing and completely ignore them because they were in a different position.
