Thanks to his grandmother, Jock Campbell hasn't been able to ignore the hype around a potential Wallabies return.
The Queensland Reds fullback laughs it off but admits, after allaying fears that "getting old" had robbed him of his pace, he's ready if called on next month.
Campbell, who turned 31 in May, is readying for an aerial barrage in Saturday's Super Rugby Pacific qualifying final against the Chiefs on what's expected to cold, wet Hamilton night.
He's riding a fresh wave of confidence though, buoyed that his pace has returned after an off-season slowed by hamstring and back issues.
"I have got faster, and when you feel it coming back it's a snowball of confidence," Campbell told AAP.
"There were a couple of years there, I kind of thought I was losing it because I was getting old."
