Rising Australia star Pete Samu has revealed his true rugby apprenticeship as a season spent in Cornwall battling snow-capped pitches and local ciders.
The 26-year-old Wallaby used to have everyone think he had cut his back row teeth in a two year stint at New Zealand’s Super Rugby powerhouses Canterbury Crusaders.
Brumbies flanker Samu could make his Twickenham bow against England on Saturday if David Pocock fails to recover from a shoulder complaint.
