Stirling Mortlock (74)
hardly. He's sat on the bench for the majority of the tour. He's still yet to be given the reigns.
That's what bench players do, they sit on the bench. He's firmly apart of the 23 and is getting on the field not because of injury so is a "substitution" rather than a "replacement". He's part of the game plan. To say he's not apart of Cheika's plans is a strange comment when he clearly is.
