Recently, Wallabies and Waratahs winger Drew Mitchell discussed the recent signing of Joseph Suaalii by the Waratahs and the potential selection of the 17-year-old for the Wallabies.
Suaalii, a highly sought-after rugby union player, signed with the Waratahs in December 2020, making him the youngest professional rugby union player in Australia. Suaalii is eligible to play for the Wallabies in 2021, and his potential selection has been a hot topic in the rugby world.
Mitchell, who has played for both the Wallabies and Waratahs, believes that Suaalii has the potential to be a great player for the Wallabies. He said, “I think he’s got a lot of potential and I think he’s going to be a great asset for the Wallabies. He’s got a lot of talent and he’s got a lot of potential.”
However, Mitchell also cautioned that Suaalii should not be rushed into the Wallabies team too quickly. He said, “It’s important that he’s given time to develop and grow as a player. He’s still only 17 and he needs to be given time to learn and develop his skills.”
Mitchell believes that Suaalii will benefit from playing with the Waratahs before potentially joining the Wallabies. He said, “He’s going to have a great opportunity to learn from some of the best players in the world at the Waratahs and I think that will be invaluable for his development.”
Overall, Mitchell believes that Suaalii has the potential to be a great asset for the Wallabies, but that he needs to be given time to develop his skills before being selected for the team. With his signing with the Waratahs, Suaalii is set to have a great opportunity to learn from some of the best players in the world and to develop his skills before potentially joining the Wallabies.
