A guy who picked up Rugby with no experience....

I doubt any Aussies will be filling the void in the front row. They have traditionally had the worst front rows in international rugby down the years.

The IRFU got an Aussie lad called Tom Court to join Ulster a few years ago but he initially struggled to get into the Ulster side with guys like Justin Fitzpatrick keeping him out of the side! He has got his act together since then and is now on the fringes of the international setup but the IRFU's decision to bring Mike Ross home from Harlequins suggests that Kidney doesn't rate him and he sees Ross as a far better alternative on the tight-head side.
