Berrick Barnes

Was first selected for the Wallabies squad in 2007, making his debut off the bench against Japan and scoring two tries. With 24 hours notice, he was called into the starting line-up against Wales where he set up a try and kicked a drop goal in an impressive performance, and with Stephen Larkham unfit for selection, he started against Fiji and England. Barnes made his Reds debut in Super 14 in the first match of the 2006 season, and is a young player to watch for the future.
