'Cheat Code': Wilson Cleared to Play in Shute Shield Decider After Wallabies Standby Call The recent news that Teddy Wilson has been cleared to play in the Shute Shield decider after being placed on standby for the Wallabies squad has sparked a mix of emotions among rugby fans.
Easts coach Ben Batger was thrilled at the prospect of his star halfback making a Wallabies debut, but also aware of the potential impact on his team's chances in the grand final.
Wilson's loyalty to Easts is admirable, as he has been with the Waratahs since 2022 and has played 40 times for NSW despite having only 10 starts.
