REDS vs WARATAHS in Brisbane, Saturday 8.05pm kickoff AEDT
Queensland No.8 Harry Wilson will square off with NSW’s Langi Gleeson in an early Wallabies trial at Suncorp Stadium.
“As a No.8 who wants to be playing for the Wallabies… he obviously leapfrogged me last year. That hurt,” Wilson said.
“That definitely is always extra motivation when you see somebody in the same position on the other team. You want to go after them. I want to prove a point to him but for the benefit of the team. It is our first game of the year in a new era of Queensland rugby.
“It all begins now under Les Kiss’s leadership and we want to start well and get one up against the old foe.”
