Emerging forward and impact player Lukhan Tui wouldn't mind muscling his way into the Wallabies' mosquito fleet back row in addition to adding oomph to the second row.
Test rookie Tui played a vital role off the bench in Saturday's Bledisloe Cup win over New Zealand at the Suncorp Stadium home base of his Queensland Super Rugby team.
He won a vital restart late in the game, claimed lineout ball and added aggression and zest, as Australia held on to end a seven-match losing streak against the world champions and the country of Tui's birth.
Although he's primarily a lock, the 21-year-old Tui can also play blindside flanker as he did when he came off the bench against Argentina in Mendoza.
At 198 cms, he has the height as well as the aggression to play in the back row.
"I'm pretty keen to play six or lock," Tui told AAP.
"It helps my case to be in the 23.
"But in saying that, the way that (the back row of) Jack (Dempsey), Hoops (Michael Hooper) and Seany (Sean McMahon) played on the weekend, they all played really well and were outstanding.
"A lot of people might talk about size but they kind of showed on the weekend it wasn't all about size."
A mid-year knee injury delayed Tui's rise to Test ranks, but it proved just a temporary setback after a strong Super Rugby campaign.
With three caps off the bench to his name, Tui will be hoping for more time in Saturday's clash with the Barbarians in Sydney.
The Baa Baas have been hit by injuries and former NSW Waratahs favourite and Springbok lock Jacques Potgieter is among those to withdraw from their squad.
Tui came to Australia when he was four and Saturday's Test was his first against his former country.
"It was a big game for me, a big occasion obviously being born in New Zealand. I was just pretty excited to get the opportunity to play against them," he said.
"It's a bit of a funny one. My family were in the stands, wearing All Black jerseys - they all support New Zealand.
"But first and foremost, they all support me and I think they are just happy for myself and happy that the team could get a win."
While several of their more-experienced teammates have accumulated many losses to New Zealand, Tui, Dempsey and winger Marika Koroibete all enjoyed a confidence-boosting win in their first clash with the All Blacks.
