The Queensland Reds have received a boost ahead of their Super Rugby quarterfinal against the Chiefs with two potential 2024 Wallabies debutants signing new deals. Lock Ryan Smith and centre Josh Flook, who both reached 50 caps for the club this season, have recommitted to play under Les Kiss in 2025. The pair, prodcuts of the Brothers club in Brisbane, have played for Australia A and their form has catapulted them into Wallabies considerations for this season.

“Both Josh and Ryan are 50-cappers. It’s fantastic news they have re-committed to Queensland,” Kiss said. “The qualities we see in ’Flooky’ come through on and off the field.



He has excellent timing in attack and defence and it’s obvious how much the Reds jersey means to him in every match he plays. “’Ryano’ has put in such a shift for us this season. He’s been impressive in the tight and he’s a well-liked character in the locker room where he leads the team song in fabulous fashion.

McMillan was involved in a joint press conference with Kiss on Monday and was asked about the Reds’ most threatening players. Watch every match of Super Rugby Pacific ad-free, live & on demand on the Home of Rugby, Stan Sport “Where do you start? Obviou.
