SYDNEY (Reuters) - Former Wallaby Will Genia sees a bright future for Tate McDermott but only if the young Queensland Reds scrumhalf does not have his natural attacking instincts coached out of him.

McDermott, widely considered one of the most promising talents in Australian rugby, has been working with Genia while the former World Player of the Year nominee is stuck in Brisbane because of the COVID-19 pandemic.
