Reece is the word on everyone's lips but no Wembley certainty

While Reece Walsh has captivated the rugby league community, the Clive Churchill Medal winner's spot as fullback in the upcoming Wembley Test against England isn't guaranteed, according to Australian coach Kevin Walters.

Following a training session at St. Marys University in Twickenham, where the Kangaroos faced the French national team, Walters indicated that he plans to announce his starting lineup, preferred bench, and reserves on Tuesday. This decision comes even though domestic regulations only require him to submit a 21-man squad listed in alphabetical order.

For those expecting Brisbane superstar Walsh to be a fixture in that lineup, Walters delivered an unexpected twist. During part of Friday's session, Walsh was seen wearing a bib, while Penrith's Dylan Edwards was actively training against the French squad.
