Wallabies Recall Will Skelton for Lions Test at MCG

Wallabies star Will Skelton credits his wife, Kate, for making significant sacrifices by giving up her career in aged care to support his professional rugby journey in Europe, where he currently plays for La Rochelle. Standing at 203 cm and weighing 135 kg, Skelton is viewed as a game-changer for the Wallabies, especially as he returns from a calf injury to face the British and Irish Lions at the MCG. His club coach, Lions great Ronan O'Gara, praises Skelton's ability to immediately impact the game despite injury setbacks. Skelton's career highlights include helping the NSW Waratahs win their first Super Rugby title and becoming a four-time European champion with Saracens and La Rochelle. The second Test against the Lions is highly anticipated, with a crowd of nearly 100,000 expected. Wallabies coach Joe Schmidt has also publicly discussed Skelton's return, underlining his importance to the team.
