Re-signed Waratahs five-eighth Tane Edmed is earning rave reviews for his form in the NPC and is setting his sights on a Wallabies call-up.
After a difficult year of uncertainty and wooden spoon collection, Tane Edmed is deep in enemy territory and loving life.
“You can just tell there is a genuine love of the game – they just love talking about rugby, lots of micro-detail in small groups, ” Edmed said. “It’s been really enjoyable. I am just starting to enjoy my footy again, I guess. That’s been the biggest thing,” Edmed said. “And just learning plenty from how they do things over here.”Of all the available access points to the IP of the Super Rugby champion Blues, and the broader Kiwi system, one of the most valuable for Edmed is regular contact with Blues assistant coach Daniel Halangahu, who knows his rugby path intimately.
The Waratahs announced on Wednesday Edmed had re-signed on a one-year extension, but for a long time this year it wasn’t a sure thing he would be back at Daceyville next year. Getting the nod from Joe Schmidt to be part of the Wallabies’ train-on squad gave Edmed great encouragement, and he hopes his form for North Harbour will keep him on the national radar before the spring tour.
