Australia have continued their rugby league recruitment drive before next year’s home Rugby World Cup with the capture of National Rugby League star Angus Crichton.<\/p>\n
The 29-year-old, who has represented New South Wales and the Kangaroos during a hugely successful decade in the 13-man code, will move to the Waratahs in 2027.<\/p>\n
Crichton was a part of Australia’s age-grade union sides before signing with South Sydney Rabbitohs and committing to league as a teenager.<\/p>\n
He started all three Tests in the Kangaroos’ 3-0 series win over England in the autumn, scoring two tries in the Wembley opener.<\/p>\n
“It’s incredibly exciting to be returning to the sport I played throughout my childhood,” Crichton said.<\/p>\n
“I grew up with a Wallabies jersey and poster on the wall and my dream was to one day represent them. I’m in a position in 2027 to pursue that dream.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Australia have continued their rugby league recruitment drive before next year’s home Rugby World Cup with the capture…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":382875,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[35],"tags":[5903,101,56,54,55],"class_list":["post-382874","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-rugby","tag-rugby","tag-sports","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/382874","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=382874"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/382874\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/382875"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=382874"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=382874"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=382874"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
