Son of former Australia fly-half Michael to make Six Nations bowTownsend urges Scotland to hit peak performance in Rome
Louis Lynagh, the son of former Australia fly-half Michael, will make his debut for Italy in their Six Nations meeting with Scotland this weekend after the head coach, Gonzalo Quesada, named the wing in his team.
Lynagh, whose mother is Italian, was born in Italy and played at Under-20 level for England where he grew up but while he was called into a training squad under Eddie Jones, he did not win a cap and has not since featured in Steve Borthwick’s plans. His selection for Italy comes after he announced he would play his club rugby at Benetton in Italy next season, with his signing from Harlequins confirmed last month.
