The Honey Badger's translator one minute, a chance to book a ticket to the World Cup the next, as France-bound scrumhalf Nic White says au revoir to the US and hooks up with the Wallabies in Argentina.
Wallabies great Stephen Larkham says White's former ACT Brumbies teammate Tevita Kuridrani is "one of the most dangerous players in world rugby" after his last-gasp heroics against the Springboks in Brisbane on Saturday night.
The injury fallout from the Wallabies' 24-20 victory has opened the door for two Brumbies to get their first Test appearance for the year, with scrumhalf Will Genia (knee) and winger Rob Horne (calf) ruled out of the trip to South America for Sunday's game (AEST).
White and Western Force winger Nick Cummins, aka the Honey Badger, were in the US promoting the Wallabies' friendly there in September but have been brought into a 31-man squad for the Pumas game.
White will probably come onto the bench as back-up to Nick Phipps, but Wallabies backs coach Larkham said no decision would be made until the coaches' meeting on Monday.
Larkham said it was still unsure how long Genia would be out due to bone bruising and cartilage damage.
It means White will have at least the Argentina game and potentially a Bledisloe Cup Test or two against the All Blacks to push his claims to be part of Michael Cheika's World Cup squad.
The former Brumbies No.9 has signed with French club Montpellier but might have to put plans to move on hold.
"We're not sure yet [how long Genia will be out], we'll get some feedback from the doctor tonight and make a better informed decision," Larkham told Fairfax Media. "So there's potential for Whitey to be involved for the Bledisloes."
Horne is expected to be fit for the first Bledisloe on August 8 but it could see Brumbies flyer Joe Tomane come straight into the Wallabies XV or get a spot on the bench against Argentina.
Larkham said Tomane had earned his chance with a strong finish to the Super Rugby season, which included a hat-trick in the Brumbies' qualifying final victory over the Cape Town Stormers.
"Joey's had a fantastic Super Rugby season, particularly the back end of it, he's been playing his best football," he said.
"On the back of that he certainly deserves to be given an opportunity.
"There's a number of quality wingers in the squad at the moment, including Nick Cummins, who's over in America, and Drew Mitchell obviously came off the bench so there's a number of guys in that mix."
Kuridrani's last gasp followed a strong game where he'd been a constant running option.
Larkham said Kuridrani also showed character to not let a missed opportunity in the second half affect his confidence, after he knocked on while running a play off the back of a Wallabies scrum.
He said the powerful Fijian centre had started to hit his straps after a shoulder injury interrupted his Super Rugby season.
"He's certainly one of the most dangerous players in world rugby and we were starting to see that towards the end of the Super Rugby season after he'd overcome his injuries," he said.
"It was pleasing to see the way he played last night – it wasn't the perfect game – but he was a handful."
Brumbies playmaker Matt Toomua put in an impressive stint at flyhalf against the Springboks and Larkham said he would be in line for either of the Wallabies' playmaking roles against the Pumas.
He can play at either No.10 or inside centre, having been used at both at international and Super Rugby level.
"He had a fantastic game off the bench, added a lot of energy to the team and some really good direction out there," Larkham said.
"Definitely [he's in the running to fill either playmaking role], he's got the skill to."
