Lynagh also nailed several clutch conversions from the sidelines in the pouring rain.<\/p>\n
The 19-year-old is living with his older brother Tom, who has welcomed him in with open arms after convincing him to make the move down under.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s great to have him here. I\u2019ve been talking to him for the last couple of years about potentially coming out here, and been trying to entice him to do it so I\u2019m very happy for him and he\u2019s enjoying himself so far,” Tom told Rugby.com.au at the start of the month.
<\/p>\n
\u201cI knew how tough it was to move over to the other side of the world without your parents, so I’m doing my best to look after him, and try and help him through things. <\/p>\n
“He’s doing it all by himself, and he’s really enjoying it so far.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
\u201cThe boys in the academy and the senior squad are looking out for him so he\u2019s had a lot of good people there.\u201d<\/p>\n
The Lynagh siblings are well on their way to living up to the name of their famous father Micharl, who finished his career as one of the best flyhalves to ever do it.<\/p>\n
Oldest Louis is currently a core member of a golden generation in Italian Rugby, committing to his country of birth after spending time in the English system.<\/p>\n
Tom joined his dad in starting for the Wallabies against the British & Irish Lions, becoming the first father-son duo to do so.<\/p>\n
With Nic in the infancy of his career, the Reds fly-half can see the strengths of himself and Louis in his burgeoning game.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe\u2019s probably a good mix of both of us, really. He\u2019s not the biggest body but he\u2019s tall and rangy, very skilful with a good kicking game and running game,” he believes.
<\/p>\n
\u201cYou take Louis\u2019 running and my kicking and he\u2019s probably a good mix but he\u2019s also his own player.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Reds Academy Nic Lynagh may have a big last name to live up to, but his older brother,…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":485231,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[567],"tags":[64,63,12061,760,85,194897],"class_list":["post-485230","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-rugby","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-queensland-reds","tag-rugby","tag-sports","tag-super-rugby-next-gen"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/485230","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=485230"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/485230\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/485231"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=485230"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=485230"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=485230"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
