Uncapped 33 year old lock? Australia looking to the future there. Has he been outstanding in SR or something?

Neville’s been on the fringes for years, but successive coaches just didn’t pull the trigger with him, not to mention a stint or two overseas. But yes, he had a great season with the Brumbies, and was a big reason why they made the playoffs.
