Rodda signs new deal with Australia and Reds
By Online Editors
Wallabies lock Izack Rodda has committed his future to Australian Rugby re-signing with Rugby Australia and the Queensland Reds until the end of 2020.
The ten-Test forward has become a mainstay of Michael Cheika’s side ahead of next year’s Rugby World Cup in Japan as he builds his second-row combination with Adam Coleman.
The 22-year old, who only made his Test debut last year, led the line in the Wallabies 23-18 win over South Africa at Suncorp Stadium last Saturday night.
The 119kg lock Izack Rodda said: “I’m very excited to re-sign for two more years and I’m really looking forward to sticking with the Reds and the Wallabies.
“The Reds gave me my first crack and my first contract. I was one year out of school and I haven’t really looked back since.
“It’s an unreal program that’s been growing each year and now that Thorny is the boss, it’s just going in the right direction as a club and all the players want to be there to keep growing that great vibe.
“Honestly, if you had asked me three years ago where I would be, I wouldn’t have said here with the Wallabies.
“It’s come very fast but I have loved every moment of it. In saying that, I still need to work very hard to keep my spot. There’s a lot of competition in my position coming through both the Reds and the Wallabies so it’s going to keep me on my toes.
“I want to try get in the World Cup squad then cement a spot in the 23, and hopefully win a World Cup,” Rodda said.
Rodda went to senior school in Ipswich, Queensland after growing up in Evans Heads on New South Wales’ north coast where he played junior rugby for the Ballina Seahorses.
The second rower is preparing alongside his Wallabies teammates ahead of Australia’s Mitsubishi Estate Rugby Championship Test against Argentina at Cbus Super Stadium on the Gold Coast this Saturday night.

I thought my $88,000 in Bitcoin was lost forever. After exhausting every possible recovery method, resetting passwords, contacting exchanges, and searching through old files. I was at a complete loss. It felt like all hope was gone.
Then, I came across a review about MORPHOHACK CYBER SERVICES and their expertise in recovering lost Bitcoin. At first, I was skeptical. After all, I had already tried everything. But desperation pushed me to take a chance, and I reached out.
From the moment I contacted them, I was impressed by their professionalism and clear communication. They asked for the necessary details, explained the recovery process step by step, and reassured me that they had helped many others in my situation. Within just a few hours, to my absolute disbelief, they successfully recovered every last bit of my Bitcoin!
The relief and gratitude I felt were overwhelming. I had already accepted that my funds were gone, but thanks to Morphohack Cyber Service, I got everything back quickly and securely.

The rest of the team will not be anywhere in the shakeup for the championship or the incoming tours. Leinster’s young side did very well on this tour. It is obvious that the Leinster are on a different level of coaching and enthusiasm compared to the SA franchises. The No1 Leinster team is essentially Ireland - not one current SA franchise would be represented by more than three players in the Bok line-up. It’s both a strength and a weakness for Ireland. It’s an interesting dynamic.
