Michael Cheika insists he is not cheapening the Australian jersey by including Marika Koroibete in his European tour squad before the NRL convert has played a single rugby match at home.Reaction to Koroibetes selection in the 32-man touring group has been mixed but Cheika reckons it was a perfectly logical thing to do, saying it would allow him an up-close look at the Fijian flyer. He has been identified as a long-term Wallaby - ahead of his Super Rugby debut next year with the Melbourne Rebels.No ones getting a jersey for free - no one has and no one ever will, Cheika told reporters on Wednesday in a conference call.Ill look at him at training. Hes obviously a fine player and a profile of out-and-out speed, a linebreaker, a guy whos got a bit of X-factor.Hes got runs on the board - yes, in another code, but hes grown up playing rugby. Its not like he doesnt know the game.(But) hes not going to be jettisoned in there and start from game one. Theres a definite plan in what were doing.Cheika indicated Australias mid-week clash with the French Barbarians - a non-cap game to be played on November 24 in Bordeaux - would be the ideal opportunity to blood Koroibete.Ive had a few discussions with him and met with him a couple of times about game knowledge, he said.Hes still very, very well aware of what goes on in rugby and understands the dynamics of the game.Koroibete is one of three uncapped players in the squad, along with hooker Tolu Latu and utility back Kyle Godwin.Cheika said he had spoken to two-Test winger Luke Morahan, the unlucky man seemingly bumped out of the Wallaby reckoning by Koroibetes arrival.Yes, he would have been disappointed for sure, but Im looking to grow the amount of depth of players that we have and (Koroibete) is one of the players that are on this tour who will help us in doing that, he said.Meanwhile, Cheika admits he will have a fight on his hands to ensure in-form halfback Will Genia is available for Australias full tour.The first Test against Wales and the last Test against England dont fall inside World Rugbys regulation nine window, meaning Cheika will need to negotiate carefully with French club Stade Francais.I see that the English clubs have released the Welsh players, they (decided) as a whole to release them as a block. Im hoping Ill get the same reaction from the president of Stade Francais but you never know, he said. Jerseys Nike NFL Cheap .4 million title.
