Super Rugby title-clincher Will Genia wants to be Australia's ironman and play through the entire international season after barely having a moment's rest with the Queensland Reds.
Genia secured the Reds' first-ever Super Rugby crown when he scored the match-winning individual try in Saturday night's 18-13 triumph over the Crusaders and may have to back up immediately for the Wallabies next Sunday against Samoa.
Back-up No.9 Luke Burgess continues to recover from a broken hand, leaving Genia and uncapped Melbourne Rebel Nick Phipps as the only two fit halfbacks in the Wallabies 40-man squad.
Coach Robbie Deans would not rule out selecting Queensland players against Samoa despite the fact they would join his camp a day late after a Monday parade in Brisbane.
Deans, who selected a total of 15 Reds, knew Genia and first five Quade Cooper were keen for Test action despite being involved in all 18 Super Rugby matches since February.
Both played all but 10 minutes of the Reds' campaign and the best they can hope for is a week off before the Tri Nations starts with the July the 23rd Test against South Africa in Sydney.
Genia confirmed he didn't want to rest from any match, although Phipps is likely to start against the Samoans in Sydney, meaning he can sit on the bench.
