Having moved late to rugby union, initially favoring the 13th century where he participated in the 2017 World Cup with his native country, the three-quarterback immediately impressed with his athletic qualities. He quickly won his first selection under the jersey… of Australia, the country which adopted him during his time at XV with the Queensland Reds.
A test against France
In the Wallabies jersey, the 28-year-old winger has seven caps, for two tries. One of them was registered against the France team, during a preparation match for the 2023 World Cup. A World Cup that he will play in the shoes of a substitute, returning to the four matches of hen of his country.
The La Rochelle wings can now count on him, while Teddy Thomas was recently placed at the center of the attack by Ronan O’Gara’s staff. The medical joker could make his debut in Castres, during the next day of Top 14, on November 23.
