At 21, Joseph-Akuso Suaalii is set to make his rugby union debut after shifting from league, with his first game against England this Saturday at Twickenham. Known for his early achievements in sport, Suaalii’s recruitment by Rugby Australia on a three-year deal worth A$5.35m raises eyebrows amid financial challenges. As he reenters union, experts believe he holds the potential to become a standout player, with Matt Parish, his former coach, expressing confidence in Suaalii’s ability to excel in this new chapter of his career.
