After years of battles at club and State of Origin level, Nathan Cleary is relishing the chance to team up with the mercurial Cameron Munster when he makes his Australian debut.
Cleary is set to get his first shot at staking a claim for Australia's halfback role on Friday (Saturday AEDT) when the Kangaroos take on Scotland in Coventry.
Cleary has been the standout halfback across the last three seasons of NRL and is locked in a battle with incumbent Daly Cherry-Evans for the starting berth.
