Joseph Sua’ali’i, Australian rugby’s expensive gamble, is fast-tracked for debut against England
Associated PressTime is of the essence for the purported savior of Australian rugby. Less than a month after hopping over from rugby league, Sua’ali’i will be lining up at Twickenham, one of rugby’s storied stadiums, against England, one of the world’s top teams, on Saturday. We need to plan for that.” Sua’ali’i, a strapping, skilful and fast runner, will play at outside center against an England team coming off a frustrating 24-22 loss to New Zealand last weekend. Schmidt has been around Sua’ali’i for the past couple of weeks and describes him as a “very professional young man.” “He is meticulous with his planning before he even gets to his preparation,” Schmidt said. Australia: Tom Wright, Andrew Kellaway, Joseph-Aukuso Sua’ali’i, Len Ikitau, Dylan Pietsch, Noah Lolesio, Jake Gordon; Harry Wilson, Fraser McReight, Rob Valetini, Jeremy Williams, Nick Frost, Taniela Tupou, Matt Faessler, Angus Bell.
