Reece Walsh competes for Australian debut against Kaeo Weekes in upcoming Ashes series.
Reece Walsh has surged into contention for a green-and-gold debut with Australia coach Kevin Walters revealing the superstar Broncos fullback is on his radar for the upcoming Ashes series.
An Australian jumper for the first Kangaroos tour in 22 years is at stake when Walsh and fullback rival Kaeo Weekes clash in Sunday's Broncos-Raiders finals blockbuster at Canberra's GIO Stadium.
Weekes is eligible for New Zealand but is keen to represent the Kangaroos, putting him on a collision course with Walsh in the fierce battle for spots in Australia's backline for the three-Test series against England.
Australia's fullback incumbent is Penrith ace Dylan Edwards, while Roosters skipper James Tedesco has rocketed into the frame after a sizzling season that has made him red-hot favourite for the Dally M Medal.
