Willy Genia is the most important player in Australian rugby. Just don’t tell him that! While Sanchez (his christian name) is like anyone else in that he enjoys adulation, he’s actually a lot quieter than you might expect.

Will Genia is a world-class halfback, a rare hybrid capable of complementing a range of styles.
