‘Second to none’: Wright hails Suaalii as Wallabies scrap for Lions spots
@Source: brisbanetimes.com.au
Wallabies fullback Tom Wright has had a perfect view of Joseph-Aukuso Suaalii’s rapid development in rugby, helping to direct him on his memorable winning international debut against England in November and then facing him in May while he was wearing the No.15 for NSW.
Speaking after the Wallabies’ first day of training in Sydney before facing Fiji in Newcastle on Sunday week, July 6, Wright was delighted to see a fit and firing Suaalii back in gold after recovering from injury.
“I think he goes pretty well any time he’s on the field,” Wright said. “It’s a credit to how versatile he is. We saw him play in the midfield [for the Wallabies]; we’ve seen him now play at fullback for the Tahs as well.
“The first thing I might have mentioned was how good it was to see competition for spots heat up today at training, and that’s the luxury that the coaching staff have. It’s a difficult luxury to have, but to be able to pick a 23 to go out against the Fijians, there’s going to be guys that miss out.
