Reds Sensation Tim Ryan Etches His Name in Super Rugby History
In a commanding performance, Queensland Reds’ rising star Tim Ryan made history on Saturday as he became the first player in the franchise’s Super Rugby Pacific tenure to score two hat-tricks.
The 20-year-old Wallabies hopeful, affectionately known as the ‘Junkyard Dog‘, continued his outstanding form this season, leading the Reds to a convincing 59-13 victory over the Western Force at Suncorp Stadium.
Ryan’s treble, completed with just six minutes remaining in the match, showcased his exceptional talent and ability to consistently find the try line. Despite cramping up en route to his final score, the determined winger refused to be denied, underlining his hungry and relentless approach to the game.
Wallabies head coach Joe Schmidt will undoubtedly be keeping a close eye on Ryan’s performances, with the young flyer making a strong case for a Test call-up ahead of the upcoming international fixtures.
With nine tries to his name this season, Ryan’s recent scoring exploits have cemented his reputation as one of the most exciting prospects in Australian rugby union. His first try of the night came from a well-executed Tate McDermott cross-kick, while his second and third scores were the result of the Reds’ incisive attack and Ryan’s clinical finishing.
As the Wallabies prepare to face Wales, the Springboks, Argentina, and New Zealand in the coming months, the inclusion of the in-form Ryan could provide a much-needed injection of youthful energy and dynamism to the national side’s backline.
With his sights set on a maiden Wallabies appearance, the ‘Junkyard Dog‘ continues to leave an indelible mark on the Super Rugby Pacific competition, solidifying his status as a rising star in the world of rugby union.
