Henry Speight.

Henry Speight says he is refreshed and ready to show what he has learned from a year in the Australian rugby sevens program as he and touring roommate Sefa Naivalu stake their claims for Wallabies selection.

The Fijian‑born wings are fighting for a likely bench spot in the Rugby Championship clash against an out‑of‑form South Africa in Pretoria on Saturday.

Speight has not played a Test since last year's World Cup pool game against Uruguay while Naivalu finally became eligible to represent Australia last Monday, having waited three long years to fulfill residency requirements.

The Wallabies will name their team to face South Africa tomorrow.

If Henry Speight and Sefanaia Naivalu are picked by coach Michael Cheika, it would be the first time four Fijian players have made a Wallabies matchday squad.

Australia play South Africa at 3.05am Sunday while the All Blacks play Argentina at 10.10am this Sunday.
