Recently, Wallabies and Waratahs great Drew Mitchell discussed the signing of Joseph Suaalii to the Waratahs and his potential selection for the Wallabies. Suaalii is a 17-year-old rugby prodigy who has been making waves in the sport since he was just 14.
Mitchell, who played for both the Wallabies and Waratahs, believes that Suaalii is a special talent and has the potential to be a great player for both teams. He said, “Joseph is a special talent and I think he’s going to be a great addition to the Waratahs and potentially the Wallabies. He’s got an incredible skill set and I think he’s going to be a great asset for both teams.”
Mitchell also believes that Suaalii is ready to make an impact at the international level. He said, “He’s already shown that he can compete at the highest levels of rugby and I think he’s ready to make an impact at the international level. He’s got the skill set, the physicality and the mental toughness to be successful.”
The signing of Suaalii has been met with some controversy due to his age, but Mitchell believes that this should not be a factor in his selection for the Wallabies. He said, “Age shouldn’t be a factor in his selection for the Wallabies. He’s already proven himself at the highest levels of rugby and I think he’s ready to take the next step.”
Overall, Mitchell believes that Suaalii is a special talent and is ready to make an impact at the international level. He has the skill set, physicality and mental toughness to be successful and should not be judged based on his age. It will be exciting to see how he develops over the coming years and if he can make an impact for both the Waratahs and Wallabies.
