Rampaging Waratahs winger Taqele Naiyaravoro is firmly in contention to play for the Wallabies against Ireland in June despite not being available for the 2019 Rugby World Cup.
Wallabies coach Michael Cheika says he also plans to check on the availability of Aussie‑raised Crusaders flanker Pete Samu before naming his squad on Wednesday.
Naiyaravoro has been a tackle‑shedding force for the Tahs this season and added another two tries to his season tally at the weekend. The 125kg winger became the first Waratah to score four doubles in a season and only needs two more tries in the last four games to equal Israel Folau’s all‑time record of 12.
The Waratahs will take on the Reds at 9.45pm Saturday.
