Late-bloomer Jed Holloway will make his Wallabies debut against Argentina after being named at blindside flanker for the Rugby Championship opener
“It’s pretty surreal,” the 29-year-old told reporters from Argentina on Friday. “Something last year I thought would never come. There was a little setback, but it wouldn’t be a part of my journey if I didn’t have a setback.”
“I’m a better player, better person, it just allows me to just really enjoy my footy,” he said. “I’m really happy that my form throughout the year has given me this opportunity and now it’s just taking it on Saturday.” “I knew I needed to come home with the right attitude,” Holloway recalled. “I knew I had the ability but the work ethic and attitude weren’t there.”
“He’s had to be patient but he’s got a really good skillset,” said the New Zealander. “He’s a good lineout forward and he’s got a bit of an edge about him and we think that’s going to be important going into the weekend.”
