    Ryan crossing fingers over club rugby

    Robbie Deans has gained rave reviews for ensuring Wallabies are seen at club level but Ryan Cross is waiting before giving his unqualified support.

    Cross is one of seven Wallabies reserves coach Deans has released to clubland on Saturday, set to debut for Sydney's Eastern Suburbs after completing a hasty temporary transfer from University WA.

    The Perth-based league convert is pleased to see some action in the Shute Shield but unsurprisingly remains wary about the risks lining up against Gordon at Chatswood Oval.

    Already digesting the bittersweet taste of being left on the bench in what was expected to be his Test debut against Ireland, Cross knows injury could put him back to square one at a time he's a virtual certainty to get a cap on June 28 against France.

    "It will be good to have a run this week, I hope I come through unscathed," he told AAP.

    You can still get injured during training, just go out and play your game

    Might be the thin edge of the wedge there I reckon Pieter?
    I'm surprised that RugbyWA allowed it to happen.

    Hasn't the stadium issue showed you RugbyWA are a bunch of whipping boys? Piss weak.

    Would it have anything to do with being in closer proximity to the Wallabies camp and so our good friend Aussie Rob might be able to have a look?

    Definitely couldn't see him getting a big fuss made over him at uni and that's my club.

    I think it's unfortunate but probably a wise move for his wallabies starting selection campaign.

    I would think that's the reason (or a significant part of it) Jess. Not only for Deano to have a look but also because of the quick turn-around, to ensure that he gets the max recovery time possible (rather than flying a few thousand kilometres) and is back at Camp Wallaby quick smart.

    It does make sense - although it doesn't bode well for us if there's a national comp in future...

    Political correctness is a doctrine, fostered by a delusional, illogical minority, and rabidly promoted by an unscrupulous mainstream media, which holds forth the proposition that it is entirely possible to pick up a turd by the clean end.

    Easts should have a decent backline this weekend with Rathbone set to return as well.
