‘It sucked’: To’omua opens up on divorce and missing the Wallabies cut | geerob
Matt To’omua is divorced, between jobs and is quite sure he’s played his last Test for Australia.
“I’m willing to be proven wrong, but I do have an opinion on it and my opinion is let it go,” Toomua says. “Just cut the cord. The worry is if you allow [all overseas-based players] to come in and let everyone play, that the domestic tournament struggles. Well, we already have struggles at the domestic [level], so at what point do you say open it up.
Wallabies coach Dave Rennie has just three picks per series, but recently muddied the waters suggesting he would petition to have that increased to four. RA shot down the talk, but there is strong speculation Rennie will be given whoever he wants next year in the lead in to the World Cup. Matt To’omua and the Wallabies celebrate victory over France in Brisbane in 2021, To’omua’s second last Test for Australia.“As a player, it’s quite frustrating,” he says. “I signed a contract last year on the basis that the Giteau Law was in play, so you do the depth chart, you look at it and think, ‘I’ll probably be around here’. And then the rules get changed.
Matt To’omua in action for the Rebels this year in what will likely be his final season in Australia.A poor season with Melbourne followed – including news he was being stripped of the captaincy in favour of Michael Wells – and it was topped off with the dreaded call from Rennie to let him know he hadn’t made the cut for the England series.“I finished last season with a head knock, that kept me out for a fair while.
