But Lynagh, speaking in Brisbane to celebrate the 500-day countdown to the 2027 Rugby World Cup in Australia, confirmed a new deal which would keep him at Ballymore was imminent. He outlined his desire to don the Wallabies colours at next year’s spectacle – just as his father Michael Lynagh did, who he credits as his “idol”. “We’re close to working something out, there will be an update very soon. I obviously want to be a part of the World Cup, so that’s a massive
factor,” Lynagh said. “I definitely want to be involved … it’d be a dream come true. Everything I do is just to try and be like him [Michael], that’s on the field and off the field too. “It would mean the world to me to get the opportunity to represent Australia in the World Cup in the first place, so I’ve just got to get back on the field first.”
