Australia wing Nick Cummins has admitted that he is looking ahead to next summer's visit of the British and Irish Lions.
The Wallabies, who are currently touring Europe, suffered a disappointing 33-6 defeat to France earlier this month. However, they will attempt to return to winning ways when they face Wales at the weekend.
"We have a few new blokes in the team, and we have had a lot of injuries this year. If everyone is fit, we will have a good stock to pick from against the Lions," he told Sky Sports News.
"That tour is at the back of your mind, but there are two things we need to do first. We need to finish this tour on a good note, giving us something to build on when we get back, and then have a well-earned break to freshen the mind so you have the eye of the tiger when you come back, a burning desire to get into them."
Cummins has made five appearances for his country.
