Australian rugby player Harry Potter has been selected to play for his country for the first time, in a test match against Scotland at Murrayfield stadium in Edinburgh. Potter, a 26-year-old winger born in England and raised in Australia, has embraced the nickname 'Wizard' given to him by a teammate, a playful nod to the famous character from J.K. Rowling's fantasy novels.

Having moved to Melbourne at the age of 10, Potter feels a strong connection to Australia and is proud to represent the Wallabies on their European tour. He joins a team in transition under coach Joe Schmidt, with Potter being the 18th player to make his debut for Australia in 2024.
