Melbourne Storm wing Marika Koroibete is set to be fast‑tracked into the Wallabies squad for their Europe grand slam tour in November.
Having signed with the Melbourne Rebels for next year’s Super Rugby season, Koroibete has been asked to join the Wallabies on their tour starting early November.
The 24‑year‑old played 15s in Fiji and also attended Nasinu Secondary school with fellow Rebels wing Sefanaia Naivalu who has been training with the Wallabies and becomes eligible to play later this month.
Koroibete says he has spoken recently to Wallabies coach Michael Cheika but confirmed he would join the squad for the tour.
The Fiji‑born says he spoke with Cheika before signing with the Rebels.
Looking at the NRL quarterfinal draws: the Broncos will meet the Titans at 9.55pm tomorrow, the Raiders face the Sharks at 7.35pm Saturday while Melbourne Storm will meet the Cowboys at 9.55pm Saturday.
