Joseph-Aukuso Sua’ali’i has catapulted straight into the Wallabies squad for the Spring Tour, with the NRL convert a chance of making an immediate Test debut. Sua’ali’i was the stand-out name in Joe Schmidt’s 34-man squad, as one of three new faces named on Tuesday for the four-Test tour. Five-eighth Tane Edmed is also a chance to debut after being picked ahead of Tom Lynagh, while uncapped winger Harry Potter is also in the squad.
A rugby player as a junior before linking with South Sydney in the NRL, Sua’ali’i has been adamant he can hit the ground running with his switch to the 15-man code. “If they throw me in, I’m ready to go,” Sua’ali’i said last week. “I played the game at school, so it’s just fine-tuning and getting the skills back that I had in rugby. “I’ve always backed myself going against anyone so I’m very confident in my ability to play. “I needed rest from that NRL season, it’s a long, brutal season.
