Henry Speight is the leader in next generation of Fijian rugby players to make the Wallabies. Robbie Deans has just released names of the 30 men squad and Speight's name is missing. Don't be disappointed as he is not eligible till the end of 2013.
He played for Fiji almost 3 years ago in Junior World Cup in Belfast. He even played against future future Brumbies and Wallabies Dan Palmer and Pat McCabe.
Since moving to Brumbies from Waikato Speight as set his goal on making it into the Wallabies squad when his three waiting period expires.
Below are excerpts from his interview with Chris Dutton of the Canberra Times
''The huge confidence booster for me was watching Joe and Moggy and knowing my fellow back-three teammates could get there,'' Speight said. ''It has given me the confidence that if I can do the same or better than what I did last year, I can be pushing for a spot on that right wing.
''[Brumbies coach Jake White] has told me he wants to make me a Wallaby and my job is to believe in that 100 per cent.''
''My first goal for this year is to be in the starting team each week and from that score more tries and try to get a championship with the Brumbies - that's the ultimate goal,'' Speight said.
''I would love to lift the title this year and if we do everything right at the Brumbies, then higher honours with the Wallabies will take care of itself.''If you think your friends would like to view this click the Facebook share button below.
