Rugby Union: Wallabies' Rob Valetini has become just the third Australian ever to win successive John Eales medals.

Wallabies prop Angus Bell has defended the decision to select league convert for the upcoming tour of England after critics labelled the ex-Roosters inclusion a “disgrace.”

News Corps David Riccio described the decision to fast-track Sua’ali’i into the Wallabies squad as a ‘disgrace’, a comment Bell described as “just fluff people trying to make headlines.” Bell, who’s played 32 games for Australia since making his debut in 2020 and was a member of the Wallabies’ unsuccessful 2023 World Cup squad, added he’s “looking forward to proving people wrong.”
