Les Kiss has again overhauled his team for Sunday’s clash against Los Pumas in Argentina.
Les Kiss has again overhauled his team for Sunday’s clash against Los Pumas in Argentina.
A pair of the Wallabies’ biggest names have returned for two important clashes against Argentina, but Les Kiss has taken a calculated risk in selection.
The injury-prone outside centre picked up what the Wallabies described as a “minor hamstring strain” in the 35-32 win over the Brave Blossoms in Osaka.
His teammate thinks Suaalii is “almost too good for people just to be happy with where he’s at”. And the star’s Wallabies position is again being debated.
Joe Schmidt’s Wallabies are on the cusp of an unwanted record. But there’s one factor that means they can’t be written off as a genuine threat.
There was huge hype around the Waratahs v Force clash but it turned into a stinker. There's good reason to believe round two will be a beauty.
The NSW Waratahs will again be without Joseph-Aukuso Suaalii for the crucial clash with the ACT Brumbies in Sydney on Friday night.
They might have already landed two big names, but don't expect to see Joseph Suaalii running out for the Chiefs in 2028.
TEAMS: Despite calls for Joseph-Aukuso Suaalii to be shifted, Waratahs coach Dan McKellar has doubled-down on his role.
For the second straight year under coach Dan McKellar, the Waratahs have started strongly before losing their way in disconcerting fashion.
