Wallabies coach Joe Schmidt expressed excitement about the prospect of NRL star Joseph Suaalii joining the team for the Spring Tour. Suaalii signed with Rugby Australia in March last year and had hinted at his inclusion on the tour before even playing a senior game of rugby. Schmidt acknowledged Suaalii’s potential, mentioning his athleticism and goal-kicking abilities. While Schmidt had not spoken directly to Suaalii at the time, he expressed interest in having him join the Wallabies. The Wallabies, who recently lost to the All Blacks, are preparing for a four-Test tour of the United Kingdom and Ireland. Suaalii, a talented footballer, could potentially provide some much-needed X-factor to the Wallabies backline, which Schmidt admitted was more solid than spectacular. Wallabies captain Harry Wilson also expressed excitement about Suaalii’s potential addition to the team, praising his talent and what he could bring to Australian rugby. Ultimately, while there are still formalities to be addressed regarding Suaalii’s availability for the national team, Schmidt and the Wallabies appear eager to have the NRL star on board for the upcoming tour.
