Sean Maloney: Why 'million dollar sports car' is out of the garage

It might just be the most talked about Wallabies debut of all time.

The 21-year-old has dominated column inches since signing with rugby last year and now coach Joe Schmidt has decided he's ready to go in London, Suaalii has become THE headline.

Some are full of hope. 'HE'S THAT GOOD!'

Others skew a little more, ah, negatively.

'RA's DECISION TO FAST TRACK JOSEPH SUAALII INTO THE WALLABIES SQUAD IS A DISGRACE!'

I dunno man, if I bought a million dollar sports car I'd be looking to road test it ASAP.

Anyway, whichever way you look at it, people are TALKING about it.

This is without doubt one of the most anticipated Wallabies run-ons in the game's history and Suaalii has looked destined for it since day one.

NEW PODCAST! Michael Atkinson and Sam Worthington react to the big news that Joseph-Aukuso Suaalii will make his Wallabies debut against England

The ex-NRL star was freakishly impressive at schoolboy/junior level across both rugby and league.

His highlights reel as a kid rivals Kurtley Beale and Taniela Tupou who also had fans expectant years ahead of their international starts.

Some of the skills here are outrageous.

All that brilliance led to a bidding war between the Rabbitohs, Roosters and rugby with the Roosters winning out.

He'd go onto make his NRL debut at 17. That's not a typo.

Suaalii was playing first grade league at SEVENTEEN!

Test matches with Samoa followed and then there was his brief State of Origin appearance this year.

Along the way Rugby Australia came knocking with an offer that was too good to refuse.

By the closing stages of his contract, Suaalii will likely be the highest paid player in the country across both league and union.

Some believe if his talent is fully realised in the XV man game, he could eventually become the highest paid player on the planet.

Alrighty, there's the Wallabies newest outside centre covered, here's everything else you need to know ahead of the opening Wallabies Grand Slam game against England.

WHEN: Coverage from Sunday 1.30am AEDT exclusively on Stan Sport with kickoff at 2.10am.

KEEP AN EYE ON: Outside of the debutant, Len Ikitau shapes as the most important player on the field for Australia. He'll need to guide Suaalii in defence and line him up on attack.

WHO'S IN FORM: Looking to England and Maro Itoje was enormous for his country last week. His work across the park is always a level above and he's enjoyed enormous success against the Wallabies.

WHO'S HOT: England has won 10 of its last 11 vs the Wallabies. Australia's last win at Twickenham was way back at the 2015 Rugby World Cup.

ALGORITHM SAYS: 'The Algo' has England as 13.5 point favourites.
