Happy that Wilson got a recall.
He didn’t have his best game against the Brumbies but he has absolutely busted his gut for the Reds this year. Whatever the issues are at Ballymore Wilson, McReight & Wright haven’t lacked for either effort or impact on games.
For what it’s worth I’ll say in advance too that I disagree that he still has an issue with impact at the line which seems the common criticism. More often than not he is getting past shoulders and landing post contact point. For me his issue is more to do with his ball security and showing he can be a valid lineout target.
He still has an almighty job to do to push his way up the pecking order, but I am personally happy to see him rewarded for his form.
