Rugby World Cup: Wallabies Dream Still Alive for Kerevi
The centre hasnโt donned Wallaby gold since facingย Walesย at Cardiffโs Principality Stadium on November 18, 202. With the visitors winning 52-20. RugbyJp.comย reported last month that Kerevi is intent on playing at the next Rugby World Cup, which will be held in Australia. The Wallabies have been drawn against traditional foe the All Blacks in Pool A, which also includesย Chileย and Hong Kong.
I want to be there at the next World Cup, Kerevi said. I want to be part of the team in 2026 and 2027, until my legs canโt go anymore. There are only certain things I can control, and thatโs my performance here at the D-Rocks for the next couple of years. I wanted to be part of the Wallabies squad this year, but obviously, they had the results they had and the team they had, so Iโve just been supporting them from afar.
If the call-up happens, it happens, but if it doesnโt, Iโve got to accept how it is. All Blacks great Brodie Retallick is also top 10 for total carries with 39, while Springbok Jasper Wiese is a couple of places back with 37 carries. For metres gained, Kerevi is ranked ahead of dual Rugby World Cup winner Cheslin Kolbe and former All Blacks Shaun Stevenson, among others. Former Wallabies fullback Israel Folau is in the top 10 for clean breaks with three.
