Sean McMahon: Rennie instrumental in my Wallaby return
By AAP
For four years Sean McMahon has been watching Australian rugby from afar, but the mercurial back-rower says he hasn't lost a step.
Three years in Japan's top flight with Suntory Sungoliath has brought a new level of discipline to his game and the 27-year-old has been rewarded with a Wallabies recall for Saturday's Rugby Championship clash with Argentina.
High-intensity workouts within hotel quarantine has peppered McMahon to be "the fittest in this team" as described by coach Dave Rennie last week, with the rampaging back-rower highly excited to get amongst international Test rugby again.
"Japan has done wonders for me (and) for my body," he told reporters on Monday.
"I'm feeling fresh and it's been good for me up in Japan, do a lot of running over there, it's very fast game and I am looking forward to the contact side of things back at international level to see if I'm still capable of standing up with the big dogs."
McMahon last donned the gold jersey in November 2017 against Scotland with a different and older crop of players around him.
He says learning names, faces and competing for spots with the new wave of Wallabies talent is an exciting prospect two years out from the World Cup.
"Nearly classify myself as an old bull now that there's so many young faces around," he joked.
"There's plenty of competition especially in this environment at the moment, a lot of youth and then you've got the experience of Hoops (Michael Hooper).
"It pushes you to want to learn quickly and get your head around everything. Those boys have been more than willing to help me out and try to get my knowledge up to speed as quickly as possible."
With the relaxation of the Giteau Law, which stopped players under 60 Test caps and seven years service from being picked while playing overseas, McMahon said it was his new coach that brought him back into the fold.
"Everyone misses throwing on the gold jersey when they don't have the chance to put it on anymore," he said.
"Dave and me were talking on and off about trying to get me back and things just kept falling out of place with things in Japan, Australia, stuff like that ... COVID didn't help, that's for sure.
"It's always nice to know that there are people and coaches around that still want you to be back and ... have a crack.
"It just gives you more motivation when you're overseas. For me, to train and make sure that I was up to scratch if there was ever an opportunity for me to come back."

The Team That Reclaimed My Stolen Cryptocurrency/ Hack Savvy Tech
As an Australian student with a deep passion for studying law in the UK, I have always been committed to pursuing higher education and advancing my career. My dream was to attend one of the prestigious universities in the UK, and like many students, I was searching for scholarships to ease the financial burden of studying abroad. However, what began as an exciting opportunity soon turned into a nightmare.I came across an advertisement on Facebook for a scholarship opportunity, which promised to cover all my tuition fees and living expenses. The offer seemed too good to be true, but as a young student eager to pursue my dreams, I didn’t think twice. The scholarship application process appeared legitimate, and I was soon in contact with someone who claimed to represent a reputable organization. I was asked to pay an upfront fee as part of the application process, which I believed would be reimbursed once I received the scholarship. Excited about the possibility of studying in the UK, I didn't hesitate to pay the required amount AUD 15,000.The money I paid wasn’t just from my own savings; my parents had to borrow the money to help me fulfill my dream. They trusted that I was making the right decision, and they supported me in this endeavor, hoping that it would set me on a path to a successful future. Unfortunately, as the weeks passed, I received no updates, and all communication from the supposed scholarship provider suddenly stopped. When I tried to reach out, the contact information I had was no longer working, and the website I had applied through was taken down. Realizing that I had fallen victim to a scam, I was devastated. The money, which my parents had borrowed with great effort and sacrifice, was gone, and my hopes for studying abroad seemed shattered.Feeling helpless, I turned to various recovery services, hoping that someone could help me get my money back. Most services offered little more than false promises and vague advice, leaving me feeling more frustrated than ever. That’s when I discovered HACK SAVVY TECH. After extensive research and reading positive reviews from other scam victims, I decided to give them a try. HACK SAVVY TECH acted swiftly, gathering all the necessary information, tracking the scammer's digital footprint, and initiating the recovery process. To my relief, after several weeks, they successfully recovered the full amount of AUD 15,000. I couldn’t believe that what seemed like an impossible task had become a reality. Now, I wholeheartedly recommend HACK SAVVY TECH to fellow students and anyone who may find themselves in a similar situation. They provided me with both the expertise and the support I needed, restoring not only my finances but also my faith in the possibility of recovering from such a terrible experience. If you ever find yourself in a situation like mine, I encourage you to trust HACK SAVVY TECH they truly know how to help.

Go to commentsMy name is Paul few month ago after I lost my Solana to fraud, I was absolutely terrified. But Supreme Peregrine Recovery was amazing. Their staff was prompt in their response and offered knowledgeable direction over the entire recuperation process. They put a lot of effort into tracking down the money I misplaced, and they kept me informed at every stage. With their commitment and knowledge, I was able to get my Solana back. Thanks very much for their assistance.
