Rising star Reece Walsh hopes to step into James Tedesco's shoes as Kangaroos' fullback, but Dylan Edwards leads.
Reece Walsh, the rising star of Rugby League, entered the State of Origin series with high hopes of stepping into the shoes of James Tedesco as the Kangaroos' fullback.
However, in a twist of fate, Dylan Edwards has surged ahead in the race, leaving Walsh in his dust after a tough loss in the Origin decider.
Edwards, who has now outshone Tedesco as the Blues' fullback, seems destined to claim the coveted spot as Australia's Test No.1 by the end of the year.
