Ex-All Black James Parsons has reached the end of his tether watching the Wallabies fail to capitalise on Joseph Suaalii's X-factor in the air, saying "it's eating me up at night."
Former All Black James Parsons expressed frustration over the Wallabies' failure to effectively utilize Joseph-Aukuso Suaalii's aerial skills. Speaking on the Aotearoa Rugby Pod, Parsons argued that the 23-year-old athlete should be actively involved in aerial contests as an attacking platform, questioning why Australia has not replicated strategies previously used with Israel Folau.
Parsons urged Australia to deploy Suaalii at wing, fullback, or create specific tactical situations to get him into the game. Co-analyst Bryn Hall suggested Australia manufacture opportunities for Suaalii through targeted kickoffs to the middle of the field or contestable kicks directly from scrum-half.
