Harry Potter Set for Wallabies Debut Against Scotland

Harry Potter, a 26-year-old winger originally from London who moved to Melbourne at age 10, is set to debut for the Australia Wallabies against Scotland in the Autumn Nations Series. Known humorously as 'Wizard' due to his namesake from J.K. Rowling's novels, Potter is the 18th player to debut for the Wallabies in 2024. He was selected as part of six changes made by head coach Joe Schmidt following Australia’s victory over Wales. His debut takes place in Edinburgh, the city where Rowling wrote much of her Harry Potter series, adding an ironic twist to his first international appearance. The Wallabies aim to achieve a 'Grand Slam' sweep of the rugby nations in Britain and Ireland, a feat not accomplished since 1984. Potter expressed amusement over the constant puns on his name, challenging journalists to come up with original ones.
