Australian rugby big quandary as next-gen Wallabies weigh-up future before Rugby World Cup 2023

Rugby Australia will hear next week whether two-fifths of the Brumbies Noah Lolesio will stay at home or go abroad. The 22-year-old playmaker, who played in 11 Tests last year and wore the number 10 in the first six Tests, is considering a deal in Japan.

"It's not Tom Banks' money," said a source, referring to Lolesio's teammate, who is leaving the Brumbies on a contract worth more than $1 million in Japan.

Still, that's much more than his current contract, but if he stays, he'll get a supplement from Rugby Australia.

He is the latest Test player to consider a move abroad, and veteran center-back Nic White is another player reportedly considering a World Cup transfer not only to the Brubys but also to the Wallabies battle.

Lolesio is in a situation - like Reds captain Fraser McReight in his flank position - pushing the Wallabies forward in the years following the Rugby World Cup 2023 from a group of talented organizers. Until then, Quade Cooper and James O'Connor were considered the leaders wearing number 10.

Tane Edmed, Ben Donaldson, Will Harrison, Reesjan Pasitoa, and maybe the most notable of them all, Tom Lynagh, also competed for the coveted No. 10 jersey five years before the British and Irish Lions series and the World Cup on Australian shorelines.

Australian rugby and Brumbies want to keep Lolesio, but they realize the difficult decision he has to make.

If Lolesio leaves, the Brumbies will no doubt attack playmaker Edmed Waratahs, one of three exciting 10-year-olds in NSW.

By chance, the RAs have skilled operators signing manager Nick Taylor and Wallabies manager Chris Webber, who reportedly work well with players' agents across the country.

Lolesio is unsure whether he wants to stay, but if he joins Japan's Samu kerevi, the Wallabies will lose the players they've invested in. It would also leave the Wallabies with few players with experience in the number 10 test game.

What if veterans O'Connor and Cooper don't make it to the World Cup or most of them miss and get injured?

O'Connor has been sidelined for at least a month with a knee injury, including the Reds' crucial first cross-Tasman Super Rugby game against the Hurricanes on Saturday.

It was the latest injury setback for O'Connor, who made his 2008 debut for the 18-year-old Wallabies and also missed three months last year.

Cooper was also banned from Japan this year. He was fit in last season's rugby championship when he returned to Australian rugby and led the Wallabies to a run of five wins, but in the past, he has been prone to injury.

If either fails in a World Cup year, Lolesio could well be the next reserve team to join Matt Toomua.

Let's not forget that in 2011, Stephen Donald was called to help by the All Blacks and stepped forward to kick them to French glory in the final.

Lolesio isn't the only young Gunner with their future in mind.

McReight, 23, who led the Junior Wallabies to the 2019 Under-20 World Cup final, is also growing frustrated with the lack of opportunities.

While his junior teammates such as No. 8 Harry Wilson and prop Angus Bell have been given time in the saddle, McReight’s development has been delayed by being in the same position as stimulating captain Michael Hooper.
