The 21-year-old son of Test great Michael Lynagh came off the bench in the Queensland Reds’ 27-15 loss to the Chiefs as part of the club’s rotation policy, scoring a try after the buzzer.
But his efforts across the opening seven rounds of the Super Rugby Pacific campaign have been key in his side’s surge to third on the ladder, leading McDermott to praise his rise from the “quiet kid” to chief general.
McDermott, who will play his 100th game for the Reds against Lolesio’s Brumbies on Saturday, said Lynagh’s composure had shown in tight wins against the Force (twice) and Highlanders.
“He’s definitely put himself in the frame, and he’s done that by consistently performing. The confidence he brings when he’s playing that type of footy is no easy feat,” McDermott said.
