The 22-year-old prop, who is Irish qualified, had been linked with a move to Ireland late last month. I spent a good week or two going through it and it was a bit stressful," De Lutiis said. Even if I don't, it would be amazing to be around a tournament like that with the huge support that's out there." Peter Horne, Rugby Australia's director of high performance, added that De Lutiis has a "bright future ahead of him". "At just 22, he has demonstrated strong potential for the Reds, Australia A and the Australia U20s and has been included in two Wallabies camps," Horne continued.
