Walsh-mania ready to take England by storm

The Kangaroos have announced that Reece Walsh-mania is set to go global when the exceptional fullback arrives in England later this week, with British fans anticipated to swarm the young talent.

At just 23 years old, Walsh is considered the brightest star in rugby league, having recently led Brisbane to a long-awaited premiership with a series of outstanding performances.

A debut for the Kangaroos is on the horizon, as Walsh is expected to don the No.1 jersey for the opening Ashes Test at Wembley Stadium next weekend.

The Australian team will depart for London on Wednesday morning, with prop Lindsay Collins predicting that Walsh will receive a rockstar welcome upon his arrival in England.

Opposing English players are also expected to devote significant attention to neutralizing the fullback, aiming to physically challenge the 88-kilogram standout.

This dynamic is one that Cleary understands well; the halfback has expressed confidence in his new teammate's ability to handle the increased scrutiny.
