Fijian Wallaby wing Marika Koroibete believes he will be a much improved player when Australia goes up against England during their three-Test series in July.
Koroibete will be one of three overseas-based players who are allowed to be included in Wallabies head coach Dave Rennie’s squad and says he is relishing the opportunity of adding value at Test level.
Speaking to the media in Japan, Koroibete says it will be a good experience and he will bring back a lot.
The 29-year-old left the Melbourne Rebels to join Saitama Wild Knights (formerly Panasonic Wild Knights) and made an immediate impact in his new surroundings.
He impressed during the inaugural Japan Rugby League One tournament and delivered a try-scoring performance for the Wild Knights during their 18-12 victory against Suntory Sungoliath in the final on Sunday.
Koroibete played under Robbie Deans at the Wild Knights and credits the former Wallabies head coach for helping him to become a better player.
The Namosi lad is set to be selected for the series against England alongside veteran fly-half Quade Cooper and experienced centre Samu Kerevi, who also play their club rugby in Japan.
The Wallabies will play their first test match against England on July 2.
