MORNE Steyn couldn't have known that what he did to the Lions last month would become something of a global trend. The Springbok's triumphant return at the age of 37 has cleared the way for another implausible comeback today.
Quade Cooper will be calling the shots for Australia against South Africa at the age of 33 more than four years after being discarded. Johnny Sexton has declared himself fit and raring to go at 36, all the better for having been left at home by the Lions.
And now that his return to Wales makes him eligible again, nobody ought to rule out the possibility of Rhys Priestland resuming his Test career at 34.
