Tom Lynagh to Start at Flyhalf for the Wallabies Against the British and Irish Lions

QUEENSLAND, AUSTRALIA, JUL 15 – Tom Lynagh will become the first father-son duo to play Tests against the British and Irish Lions for Australia after Noah Lolesio’s injury opened the starting fly-half spot.

  • On Saturday, Tom Lynagh will start at fly-half for Australia against the British and Irish Lions, at Suncorp Stadium in Brisbane.

  • In a 126-year first, Tom Lynagh could follow Michael Lynagh’s footsteps, underscoring a historic family milestone in Australian rugby.
  • ‘I’m really excited to see how he goes on Saturday,’ Tate McDermott said; he supports Lynagh’s start at fly-half in the series opener.
  • Facing a high-stakes choice, Schmidt opted for Lynagh’s fourth cap, `But you've got to start somewhere, and if not now, when?`.
