this is a logic I don’t really agree with Phil.
looking thru the lense of one game should not be your evaluation on HMP.
he has looked the goods playing qpr most of season and with his limited opportunities in super rugby.
if Schmidt has no qualms about selecting Josh Nassir who is backup to Matt Fesseler then 1B HMP can be in the wallabies side next to 1A Tom Lynagh.
plus I am of logic there’s no argument for any player not to be in a squad in first year of a new coach or the caveat that it’s a World Cup year
HMP's strengths and weaknesses aren't currently suited to international rugby, which is more the issue than how he played on the weekend. At the Reds/Super Rugby level, HMP is the ying to Lynagh's yang; HMP is more of a ball runner/playmaker, but his kicking isn't as good, and his composure is still developing, which is where Lyagh's strengths lie.
