Sydney - Matt Giteau's experience of northern hemisphere rugby would be invaluable to Australia if he was recalled to the Wallabies side for this year's Rugby World Cup in England, according to his Toulon team-mate Drew Mitchell.
Flyhalf Giteau, wing Mitchell and flank George Smith became eligible to return to test rugby after the Australia Rugby Union changed its policy on Wednesday to allow some overseas-based players to play for the Wallabies.
Mitchell welcomed the move on Twitter but the winger modestly concentrated on what his club mate and Smith could bring to the Australia squad when he spoke to Fox Sports News from France.
