Connolly considering moving Tuqiri to wing

NEWLY appointed Australia coach John Connolly has hinted at possible positional changes within the Australian squad by that revealing Lote Tuqiri’s future could be on the wing.

Connolly, recently named as Eddie Jones’s successor at the helm of the Wallabies, believes Tuqiri would be of greater use out wide rather than in the midfield, where he played during the team’s disappointing European Tour at the end of last year.

“Outside centre is very much a pigeon-holed position in some ways, in that you can’t chase the ball,” Connolly said.
