Robbie Deans tells Jesse 'Greyhound' Mogg to muscle up Brumbies fullback Jesse Mogg is aiming to combine speed with aggression in an effort to earn a place in the Wallabies line-up. JESSE Mogg is aiming to combine the speed of a greyhound with the physicality and aggression of a fighting dog in his bid to earn a place in the Wallabies squad. Mogg is nicknamed Greyhound for his speed and slender physique, but Wallabies coach Robbie Deans has demanded more physicality from him. The 23-year-old was omitted from the Wallabies' initial 25-man squad for the upcoming British and Irish Lions series, but is in the running for the final six players to be added on June 11. "It's just the physicality of Test rugby he (Deans) is concerned about," Mogg said. I showed last year at some points in the competition I wasn't physically capable, but this year I've grown. It's something I'll always have to keep working on and hopefully get there sooner rather than later. While Mogg is 187cm tall, he is only 90kg, but he does not believe he needs to carry any extra weight to play physically. "I'm pretty happy around 90 kilos," Mogg said. I guess I can put a little bit more on, but at the same time speed is one of my greatest assets. I don't want to jeopardise my speed for a few extra kilos that I might not have to have. Mogg had his eyes on one of the six places yet to be filled. I spoke to Robbie on the Sunday morning (before the Wallabies squad was announced). He told me I was unsuccessful in making the 25, but to keep building my game and continue what I'm doing," Mogg said. As long as there are six spots open, there's always a chance to make it. I was disappointed in not making the 25 and if I don't make the final six, I'll be disappointed again, but I'm not going to let if affect my game. I'm not going to drop my head. I'll play positive rugby with the Brumbies and if that leads to a chance of making the final six, I'll be happy with that. While Mogg had an uncharacteristically poor game for the Brumbies in their loss to the Crusaders in Canberra the week before the Wallabies squad was announced, he has not let his omission affect his form since. Mogg played well in the Brumbies' loss to NSW in Sydney two weeks ago and again in their win over the Blues in Auckland last Saturday night. A brilliant attacking player, Mogg showed in atrocious conditions at Eden Park that he could also control a game with his tactical kicking. "I found a bit of confidence in that (Blues) game, especially my kicking game and under the high ball," Mogg said. (My form) wasn't really down, but it wasn't where it has been. I had a pretty poor outing against the Crusaders, but I thought I turned it around against the Waratahs. I didn't think my kicking game was that strong against the Crusaders. But I found my rhythm against the Waratahs and continued that on Friday. I really wanted to put in a solid performance against the Blues. I guess I played my part in the way we won and how we wanted to control the game. On top of the Australian conference, the Brumbies may secure a home semi-final if they win the last three games, starting with the Hurricanes in Canberra on Friday night. "It will be really good to get back to Canberra Stadium," Mogg said. The last time we played there against the Crusaders we were a bit disappointing. To get back in front of our home crowd against quality opposition like the Hurricanes, who on their day can really turn it on, will be really good. Hopefully, we can just follow up the way we played last Friday and take that into the Hurricanes game.
