Matt Giteau has announced his international retirement after falling out of favour with Australia coach Robbie Deans.
Unhappy
Giteau is not the only fly-half to clash with Deans and his coaching style, with Quade Cooper having been fined and handed a suspended three-match ban for describing the Wallabies set-up as a "toxic" environment.
And Giteau has some sympathy for the enigmatic Reds playmaker, who misses the tour to Europe through injury.
"Quade wanted to express how unhappy he was," said Giteau.
"He has since apologised. I also experienced difficult moments at international level, I didn't make the last World Cup. Robbie is as he is.
"The coaches like certain players and others less. It has always been the case. I don't enter into the plans of Robbie."
