Australia's 999th Wallaby on his injury-riddled road to Test debut
Isaac Henry will run the prospect of fresh ink past his wife but is otherwise assured he can make a permanent Wallabies mark after a hard-earned debut in Osaka.
Isaac Henry made his Test debut for the Wallabies against Japan on Saturday, becoming the 999th player to represent the team. The 27-year-old centre played 10 minutes in Australia's 35-32 victory in Osaka. Henry, who has faced numerous setbacks including four major surgeries, was made to wait over 70 minutes before coming on and was immediately involved in defending furiously in the match.
Despite his injury history, Henry is optimistic about his future with the Wallabies, stating that he is "hungry for more" and eager to prove himself at the next level.
