Isaac Henry makes Wallabies debut as 999th player
Queensland Reds center Isaac Henry has made his Test debut for the Wallabies, becoming the 999th player to represent Australia. Henry entered the match against Japan in Osaka as a substitute, making his appearance after 70 minutes of play.
Henry's path to the national team has been marked by significant physical challenges, including four major surgeries in four years involving a broken foot, a hamstring tear, and two knee ligament and tendon ruptures. Wallabies coach Les Kiss praised Henry's resilience and versatility, noting his ability to play at both center positions and on the wing.
In the squad selection for the upcoming Tests against Japan, Henry joins several other players as the team manages injuries. Len Ikitaua will miss the matches due to an ankle injury, while the squad also sees the return of Lukhan Salakaia-Loto and Isaac Kailea.
