Wallabies skipper Harry Wilson inks four-year extension with Rugby Australia and Queensland Rugby
Harry Wilson only has one place he wants to remain for the next four years, and that's on the rugby field with the Wallabies and the Queensland Reds.
Off the back of a breakout season in Test rugby, Wilson inked a four-year extension with the Wallabies and Reds that will see him don the team jumpers until the end of 2029.
His signing is a major boost for the Wallabies as they prepare to enter the "golden decade" of international events, which includes a home World Cup in 2027.

The Australian skipper revealed he had been in no hurry to confirm his future in the competition despite his contract expiration being at the end of 2025.
He admitted his visions for the future were all seen in the colours of one club.
"This is the only place I wanted to be," Wilson said.

"I want to give the best years of my rugby career to being part of success in the Reds and the gold jersey. Being part of a home World Cup (in 2027) is something you dream about.
"I didn't speak to another club. I didn't want to be a Wallabies captain shopping himself around the world.
"I'm the current Wallabies captain. Who am I to tell others to stay in Australia if I'm not signed, sealed and delivered myself?

"I'm delighted. There's no background noise entering the season. I can just play footy."
The signing comes on the eve of the Reds' Super Rugby Pacific season opener against the Moana Pasifika at Suncorp Stadium.
Queensland Reds coach Les Kiss expressed his elation and praise for the natural born leaders' commitment to the team.
"It's a great vote of confidence in our Reds program from Harry," Kiss said.
"What a guy to have as a mentor of our young forwards. He's a natural leader. The difference he makes in the locker room is palpable.
"This news will be welcomed by fans, stakeholders and the whole locker room."
