Son of Wallabies legend set for Super Rugby after signing long-term deal with Queensland Reds

The Queensland Rugby Union (QRU) has today announced the Queensland Reds have signed skilful flyhalf Tom Lynagh through 2023.
Tom is set to follow in the footsteps of his father Michael at the Reds, joining his new Queensland team-mates mid next year on a two-and-a-half-year deal.
The 17-year-old is currently playing within the Harlequins and England Academy system in the UK where he continues to impress and draw parallels with his father.
Described by the great Queensland and Australian coach Bob Templeton as the “best footballer we have ever produced,” Michael Lynagh represented his country in 72 tests – 15 as captain, in a 12-year international career that included a World Cup victory in 1991 as the Australian vice-captain.
He also played 100 games for Queensland and captained the Reds in three seasons (1988, 1990-91) during his time at Ballymore.
Tom’s signing continues a proud Queensland tradition of father-son pairings to have played for the Reds which includes Sam Scott-Young and also Brendan Nasser whose son’s Angus and Josh are in the current Queensland squad.
Reds general manager of professional rugby Sam Cordingley said: “We are excited to welcome Tom to Queensland next year.
“Like his father, Tom is a very astute five-eighth, but he has certainly created his own path. Tom has genuine x-factor with ball in hand which is supported by his point of difference in speed and acceleration. His kicking game is also impressive both out of hand and at goal,” said Cordingley.
“As a developing talent Tom is held in the highest regard internationally given he qualifies for multiple nations. We are really pleased that he has committed to the Reds and Australian Rugby.”
Reds head coach Brad Thorn said: “It’ll be great to have Tom as part of our program next year.
“He will get a chance to develop alongside players such as James O’Connor. With Tom coming in and Taj Annan from BBC committing through 2023 also, we are in a good place.
“Tom is currently in the English and Harlequins Academies which is a great rugby system. He’ll have the opportunity to continue to develop here at Queensland. We look forward to seeing his progression,” said Thorn.
Reds recruit Tom Lynagh said: “I am very excited about joining the Reds next year.
“I have been watching the team develop over the past few seasons form here in the UK. There are some really exciting young players playing a good style of rugby.
“I am very grateful to the Queensland Reds as it is a wonderful opportunity for me to develop as a rugby player and a person.
“It will be great to meet all the other squad members, coaches and all those involved in the Reds community,” said Lynagh.
Tom, who is eligible to play for Australia, England and Italy - the home country of his mother and his birthplace, respectively - will officially join the Reds in August next year.

One fine Sunday, I decided to have a shoot. The weather was perfect, and everything seemed to align just right for an outdoor photoshoot. As I set up, I couldn’t help but think of a recent conversation I had with a photographer friend of mine, Dave. He’s one of the best in the industry, a true professional with years of experience and an impressive portfolio. He’s always striving to improve his work and provide the best for his clients. Unfortunately, he recently went through a situation that left him shaken, but it ultimately turned into a valuable lesson. I thought it would be worth sharing with you all.Dave, being such a big name in photography, was always searching for ways to elevate his craft. He wanted only the best, whether it was the latest gear, the top locations, or, in this case, the finest photo editing services available. One day, he came across an ad for a photo editing service that promised premium quality with a lifetime subscription at a one-time fee of $7,500 NZD. The offer seemed too good to pass up for someone like Dave, who only wanted the best for his photos. The website was sleek, the testimonials were glowing, and the pricing was positioned as a premium, lifetime solution. It appeared to be the perfect match for a photographer of his caliber, so he decided to invest without hesitation.At first, the service seemed to live up to its promises. The edits were decent, and the turnaround times were reasonable. Dave was satisfied at least initially. But over time, things started to go wrong. The quality of the edits began to decline, and the company’s responsiveness grew slower and less reliable. When Dave reached out for updates, the answers were vague and unhelpful. Soon, communication stopped altogether, and the edits were no longer up to the high standards Dave was used to.It became clear that Dave had been scammed. Despite paying for a lifetime subscription, he was left with subpar work and no way to get in touch with the company. He had lost a significant amount of money and, more importantly, the trust he had placed in a service he thought would be the best.That’s when a fellow photographer recommended DUNAMIS CYBER SOLUTION. Initially, Dave was skeptical, unsure if anyone could help him recover the money he had lost. But after reaching out, he quickly realized that DUNAMIS CYBER SOLUTION was different. The team worked tirelessly to track down the scammers and recover $7,000 of his original $7,500 payment. It was a huge relief for Dave and restored some of his faith in the process.Now, Dave shares his story with other photographers in the industry, especially those who, like him, want only the best for their work. He advises them to be cautious with their investments and to always do thorough research before committing to anything. He also highly recommends DUNAMIS CYBER SOLUTION, knowing firsthand how valuable their expertise can be when things go wrong.So, if you ever find yourself in a similar situation, remember that even the best can be caught off guard. But with the right support, like Dave experienced, you can turn things around and recover from what initially seems like an irreparable loss.
