Joseph Suaalii Cleared to Play Against Ireland

Joseph Suaalii has been confirmed fit to start for the Wallabies in their final Test against Ireland after a worrying wrist injury during the loss to Scotland. Coach Joe Schmidt expressed mixed feelings about the team's progress, acknowledging the challenges faced this year while emphasizing the importance of building depth and performance consistency. Suaalii will partner Len Ikitau in the midfield, marking their third collaboration on this tour, while Tane Edmed is set to become the 19th debutant for Australia under Schmidt. The Wallabies aim to conclude their season on a high note against the world’s second-ranked team, following earlier victories against England and Wales. Schmidt has made several changes to the lineup, including the return of experienced players like James Slipper and Taniela Tupou, to strengthen the squad for the match in Dublin. This game is particularly significant for Schmidt, as it pits him against the team he previously coached to success.
