James Tedesco will play for Australia against Fiji and "make a headache" for Kevin Walters, Reece Walsh thinks. Walsh says Walters isn't "sold on anyone's position" and offered him hooker; he declined, saying Blayke Brailey "is good to get a game there".
Reece Walsh says "the body's a bit sore" after his first game back for Australia from a long layoff. Kevin Walters checked his ankle and promised him a chance once it was right. Walsh doesn't know his role against Fiji but will play wherever Walters needs him.
Reece Walsh played Australia's win over New Zealand after eight weeks out and was "cramping and vomiting and all sorts of things," Kevin Walters said, too spent to take the goal-kicking. Isaah Yeo called it "a massive effort to not play for 8 weeks."
