Wallabies to unleash fastest man in Australian rugby against Springboks
@Source: brisbanetimes.com.au
Toole is set to finally debut after being selected in five separate Wallabies’ squads since Joe Schmidt first took over in July last year, including two Rugby Championship campaigns and the squad for the massive British and Irish Lions series.
Schmidt said last year that Toole’s debut is a “matter of when” and indicated he might have won his first cap against Georgia in the July series had the Wagga speedster not been drafted back into the Australian sevens team for the Olympics instead. The Aussie side narrowly missed out on winning a bronze medal.
Speaking after selecting Toole again this year, Schmidt said: “Corey spent time with us last year during the TRC. He didn’t get his Test cap, but he was close to it. I think it was another really good Super season from him, putting his hand up.”
Toole’s raw pace – he can hit elite speeds of 10.2m per second – and finishing have seen him score some insane tries for the Brumbies. But he will also likely be targeted by an aerial bombardment, given his relatively short stature at 178 cm and 85kg.
