In a rare piece of positive news, Wallaby-in-waiting McDermott says the decision to stay or go is a matter of patriotism. “There could be pay cuts around the corner, but you either love your country or you don’t; you either love your state or you don’t,” the talented 21-year-old told The Australian.
“There’s no way I’m walking away from Australian rugby. I’m sick of this country struggling in a rugby sense and I want to see it back to the glory days.”
“But from a younger point of view, we have a clear vision of staying in Australian rugby and that’s led from our captain Liam Wright. We’re all such good mates and it would be a tragedy if we were to split up and go in different directions.”
