Overview
- Reds high-performance boss Sam Cordingley said the club has tracked Lynagh for years and flagged the academy’s role under coaches Dale Roberson and Will Brown in his development.
- Lynagh was born in Chelsea and attended Hampton School, played junior rugby at Richmond, and recently completed a short stint with Harlequins’ senior academy.
- Brother Tom is established at Queensland and started all three Wallabies Tests against the British & Irish Lions earlier this year after moving to Brisbane five years ago.
- Eldest brother Louis represents Italy and scored a decisive try in last weekend’s 26-19 victory over Australia in Udine.
- The signing follows weeks of talks reported locally, including engagement with coach Les Kiss, with some analysis suggesting the move could influence Lynagh’s future international pathway.
