24-year-old Fijian born Marika Koroibete.

Seven weeks have passed since Marika Koroibete dropped the idea of him being guaranteed a debut.

The 24-year-old Fijian born who has been fast‑tracked from the NRL straight into the Test fold, says he does not feel he is guaranteed a debut on the tour, despite being named in the official 32‑man group for the six‑week trip.

Koroibete says that he has not played the game since high school and it is a big challenge for him.

He says he just expects to train as hard as he can and to try and impress the coaching staff.

Wallabies training camp started last Friday.

Meanwhile, All Blacks play Ireland at 9am next Sunday in the first match of the Nothern Tour.
