Sydney - Australia coach Michael Cheika says he would be "stupid" not to consider Matt Giteau, George Smith and Drew Mitchell for Wallabies selection after the trio, who play their club rugby in France, became eligible this week.
The Australian Rugby Union, which like New Zealand and England had previously considered only home-based players for selection, partially reversed their policy on Wednesday to bring the three back into contention for this year's World Cup.
"I'd be stupid if (I didn't consider them)," he told reporters on Friday.
