Suaalii Shines on Debut
While McReight, Ikitau and Jorgensen are credited above for their work in that match-winning score, Suaalii was superb for the Wallabies throughout that 80 minutes. Whether it was throwing brilliant offloads, drawing in defenders or standing tall in defense, Suaalii was in fine form.
“I thought he was strong,” coach Schmidt said. “I thought he was really well supported by Lenny Ikitau, Lenny was outstanding. Even at the end of the game, he took the corner, drew the defender, and released Max Jorgensen. I thought those two dove-trailed pretty well through that midfield.
“Joseph obviously got a few kick-offs back for us, he’s a big of an aerial freak, but simultaneously occurring, it was a good learning experience for Joseph as well.
“I know there were some doubts expressed about him being selected and the risk. I think people will now see the opportunity of involving a young man like that, particularly the way he prepared during the week. I thought he was really professional.”
