Noah Lolesio, the talented playmaker for the Brumbies, recently made a significant decision to commit his future to Australian rugby. After a standout season with the ACT Brumbies, the 24-year-old signed a contract extension that will keep him with the Brumbies and Rugby Australia until the end of 2025.
Lolesio had previously faced challenges in his rugby career, including falling out of favor under former national coach Eddie Jones. However, under the new regime of Joe Schmidt, Lolesio has worked hard to prove himself once again and is back in contention for the Wallabies squad.
The playmaker credits his transformative experience in French rugby with Toulon for helping him grow both on and off the field. The time spent in France allowed him to gain a fresh perspective on the game and approach his rugby career with a new mindset.
Looking ahead, Lolesio is focused on his upcoming match against the Blues, where a strong performance could solidify his place in the minds of Wallabies selectors. Despite his national team prospects, he remains dedicated to giving his best for the Brumbies and enjoying his time on the field.
His coach, Stephen Larkham, has expressed confidence in Lolesio’s abilities and believes that he is ready to take on higher duties with the national team. Larkham praised Lolesio’s skills and leadership on the field, highlighting his importance to the team’s success.
As Lolesio continues to impress on the field, his commitment to Australian rugby and the Brumbies is a testament to his growth and determination. With a renewed focus and positive mindset, he is poised to make a significant impact in the upcoming international season.
