Joseph Suaalii Set to Debut for Wallabies

Australian rugby's Joseph Suaalii is set to make his senior rugby union debut with the Wallabies against England, raising questions about his readiness to handle the pressure of international play. Suaalii, a multi-million dollar recruit from the NRL, is being compared to cross-code conversions like Sam Burgess, though he has some prior experience in rugby union at the schoolboy level. Teammates and coaches express confidence in his abilities, noting his impressive athleticism and preparation. Meanwhile, England's coach Steve Borthwick has made a tactical midfield switch for the match, reflecting the team's ongoing adjustments after recent defeats. The Wallabies, historically seen as underdogs, acknowledge the challenges ahead, especially given their recent poor performance in the Rugby Championship. As both teams prepare for the clash, expectations run high on both sides, with England looking to capitalize on their home advantage.
