Adam Freier
Date of birth: 20/3/80
Position: Hooker
Test caps: 15
Test Debut: Argentina, 2002
Test Points: 0
Current Club: Waratahs
Strengths: A feisty character on the pitch, his flailing-limb ball-carrying charges are intimidating just to watch, never mind tackle. He is also thus a natural leader.
Weaknesses: Not many, and Freier really ought to be Australia's first-choice hooker for this tournament, but he is prone to injury.
Likely headline(s): Freier up to cure Wallaby hangover.
Did you know? He is also a social league basketball player and avid basketball fan, citing Australia's best-known basketball player Andrew Gaze as his role model.
