Australia wing Nick Cummins has admitted next year's British and Irish Lions tour Down Under is already at the back of his mind.

Wales have endured an Autumn Series to forget after following up defeats to Argentina and Samoa with a 33-10 loss to world champions New Zealand last weekend.
However, Cummins, who scored a try in the win over England at Twickenham, expected Wales to be fired up in Cardiff.
"I reckon Wales will be hungrier than ever," added the 25-year-old. "We are going to have to be on the ball because they will want to finish strongly.
"Although we are at the end of our tour, we cannot afford to slack off. It will be whoever fronts up on the day.
"There was not much in it in the series earlier this year (Australia won it 3-0 by a combined margin of 11 points), and we know only our best will do.
"Wales are more like a southern hemisphere team than any of the other European sides in the way they look to move the ball and throw it around.
"Our defence was a big point for us against England, and it will be another big one for us on Saturday. We have to be urgent and catch them behind the gain-line.
"Everyone has their own style and strengths. New Zealand are great in their way, but Wales can also do some incredible things. We cannot let our guard down."
