No Divided Loyalties For Australia’s Harry Potter

467

Harry Potter the rugby player may have been born in the leafy London suburb of Wimbledon but with an accent more Saint Kilda than SW19, the versatile back has no doubt that his allegiances lie firmly with Australia.

The 26-year-old moved to Melbourne at the age of 10 and although he returned to England to play three seasons at Leicester Tigers he was delighted to receive a call-up to the Wallabies squad for the end-of-season tour of Europe.

I was here for school. I watched the Wallabies play when I was from year seven right up until going to uni and up until now,” he told reporters on Wednesday.
