Rugby: The Wallabies 2024 rugby championship has come to an end after losing to the All Blacks in New Zealand.
Wallabies go down 0-2 in the Bledisloe | 01:15Joseph-Aukuso Suaalii’s only conversation when he met Wallabies coach Joe Schmidt on the weekend was about family, but the rugby convert has declared he’s “ready” to suit up in a gold jersey as soon as he’s called on.
The Wallabies will face England, Wales, Scotland and Ireland, while an Australian XV will play English club Bristol Bears and England A. Suaalii was equally confident in handling any spotlight on him after making his code switch, having endured similar fanfare when he was weighing up his decision to stay in rugby or join the NRL out of school.
Suaalii, who looms as a backline weapon for the Wallabies, said he wasn’t locked in to any position, having played in the centres for the Roosters.“If the coach puts me anywhere, I feel like I’m just a footy player at the end of the day. Any position, I’m ready to play. I don’t really have a preferred position.”
Despite poor recent results for the Wallabies, Suaalii said her had no regrets about his move, adamant the future for the national team was bright.
