Recalled Wallabies star Sean McMahon could be unleashed as soon as the September 25 Test against Argentina after emerging from hotel quarantine in superb shape.<\/p>\n

The Japan-based, 27-year-old loose forward hasn't played for Australia since 2017 but like Samu Kerevi and Quade Cooper has benefited from a loosening of Rugby Australia's eligibility laws.<\/p>\n

And Wallabies coach Dave Rennie raved about the latest weapon at his disposal.<\/p>\n

Stan Sport is the only place to\u00a0watch\u00a0every match of<\/em><\/strong> The Rugby Championship<\/em><\/strong><\/a>, continuing\u00a0this Saturday with\u00a0All Blacks\u00a0vs Argentina and Wallabies vs South Africa –\u00a0live, extended and ad free.\u00a0Start your seven day free trial\u00a0<\/em><\/strong>here!<\/em><\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

"JP (John Pryor), our trainer, put him through a pretty tough workout yesterday and he was really impressive," Rennie said.<\/p>\n

"He's in fantastic condition, as Sean always is.<\/p>\n

"JP's report was he reckons he'd be the fittest in the team, that's how good he is.<\/p>\n

\"Quade's<\/p>\n

"For his two weeks in quarantine, JP turned his room into a gym so he's pretty much been living in a gym for the last couple of weeks.<\/p>\n

"And so he's come out really good and he's a consideration for next week (against Los Pumas in Townsville)."<\/p>\n

So where might McMahon fit in?<\/p>\n

\"Quade's<\/p>\n

Michael Hooper, Rob Valetini and Lachlan Swinton are the incumbent loose forwards and the versatile McMahon appeals as an ideal impact option, a role currently held by Pete Samu.<\/p>\n

McMahon has been plying his trade for Suntory Sungoliath since 2017 and Rennie bemoaned the lost years for a quality Wallabies asset in his prime.<\/p>\n

"He's incredibly destructive defensively, very physical, but an excellent skill set and then a dynamic athlete," Rennie said.<\/p>\n

\"Wallabies\u00a0hooker\u00a0gets\u00a0it\u00a0wrong\"<\/p>\n

"He's just a high quality player that has a real point of difference…<\/p>\n

"It's a real pity because he played a lot of Tests then left at such young age, Australian fans have missed out watching him play a lot of Test footy.<\/p>\n

"So fantastic to have him in the group, he's been really impressive.<\/p>\n

\"Wallabies<\/p>\n

"He's been working hard in the isolated 'gym' but he's also done a lot of study around our structures, and he's been able to come out and hit the ground running, which has been really impressive."<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Springboks prop Trevor Nyakane detailed the hunger within the world champion pack after being towelled up late by the Wallabies scrum on the Gold Coast.<\/p>\n

Nyakane missed that match but is back in the starting lineup at loosehead.<\/p>\n

\"South<\/p>\n

"Definitely it hurts for us as a pack," Nyakane said.<\/p>\n

"It doesn't matter when and how it happens. For us, we always want to be dominant.<\/p>\n

"We strive to be dominant and try to get 100 per cent scrums we go in, so it was tough to see that and we as a team knew we'd have to go back, look at those pictures and try to understand what happened.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

"We did that and it's buried in the back of our minds.<\/p>\n

"We know what they're capable of and know they'll come much harder than they did last week.<\/p>\n

"It will start and end with momentum, same in the set piece so we'll do all we can to salvage that."<\/p>\n
