Veteran Wallabies lock Will Skelton

Heading into this weekend’s first of the three test matches against the British and Irish Lions, the Wallabies are not worried about winning the series, but are worried about their first game at Suncorp Stadium on Saturday.

Veteran Wallabies lock Will Skelton has embraced the underdog tag stacked against them and says they are loving it.

Skelton quoted teammate, Joseph-Aukuso Suaali’i, saying they are worried about themselves than the noises from outside.

He says the Lions have played some great rugby so far, and the Wallabies are eager to showcase what they can do this weekend.

The France-based second-rower missed out on selection in the test against the Fiji Water Flying Fijians two weeks ago following a calf injury, but he is now back to 100 percent and will be eyeing a spot in the matchday 23 squad to take on the Lions in the first test.

The Wallabies will take on the British and Irish Lions at 10pm this Saturday at Suncorp Stadium in Queensland.
