Speight aims to replicate energy and passion of cousin Radike Samo

Former Brumbies winger,  Henry Speight will look to replicate the energy and passion his cousin, Radike Samo brought to the Queensland Reds to discover his best football after the age of 30.

Speight joined the Reds on a two-year deal this season after playing 119 games for the Brumbies between 2011 and 2019.

He will become Queensland's elder statesman as the only player over the age of 30 in the Reds' squad this year.

Speight told Rugby.com.au there is a lot of talent in the squad and this is something he really looks forward to.

He says another player that embraced this challenge and grew in his role was his cousin, Samo and like him, he is there to grow as much as he can.

The Reds also have the services of Filipo Daugunu and Moses Sorovi.

Speight has played 19 Tests for the Wallabies between 2014 and 2017.
