Wallace Sititi says he is still processing his “crazy” rise this year from the fringes of the Waikato Chiefs to facing world champions South Africa with the All Blacks.
Semo named his son after his hero, the Scottish warrior William Wallace who helped defeat the English at the Battle of Stirling Bridge in 1297 and who was loosely portrayed by Mel Gibson in the 1995 movie “Braveheart”.He described his breakthrough season as “crazy”. He impressed enough in training to make his debut off the bench when the All Blacks beat Fiji in San Diego and then had another brief cameo in the home defeat to Argentina.
Despite struggling to sleep the night before the Cape Town Test — he described it as a “bit of excitement, bit of nerves” — Sititi produced an eye-catching display in an 18-12 defeat.
