Young Australians turned their backs on Wallabies to announce for Japan

Young midfielder Dylan Riley (Dylan Riley) has become Australia's third prominent player on his top Japanese team and has declared his allegiance to the brave flowers, which is an amazing thing for Australian rugby.

The former Australian under-20 representative returned to his home country and set the target for the 2023 Rugby World Cup Japan National Trial.

And, not only with the other two Australian wingers in Panasonic wild knights - had former Wallabies-flanker Greg son of the player Jack Cornelsen and Ben Gunter also defected.

Riley told AAP: "I'm currently studying the qualifying criteria, but ultimately it depends on whether you play well."

He said it was difficult to reject Australian rugby at first, but he believes Japan is now his homeland and his future.

The 23-year-old Dylan Riley said, "I established my individual game and made new friends. I became passionate into love about Japan and decided to stay here."

"Because while my family has always been with me, therefore they are happy that my vision comes true."

The Wallabies coach Dave Rennie recently stated that he is concerned about the long-term future of Australian rugby and cannot compete with the sheer amount of funds Japan offers.

There will be 30 Australians this season in 16 teams, 10 of which have played in the green and gold levels, including Wallabies captain Michael Hooper.

But this isn't just the purpose of star testing, emerging prospects like Riley have also moved his career overseas. When Riley played in the NRC against the Brisbane City team in 2017, he didn't have a Super Rugby contract, then came the Panasonic Wild Knights, head coach of former Wallabies coach Robbie Deans.

When he went abroad to look for opportunities instead of money, the financial security offered by the Japanese game was tempting.

Riley said, "I really didn't have a chance to go back to my hometown, but this time I came to Japan and played under the guidance of a great coach Robbie Deans, so I took the opportunity."

“I think Japan was the best chance for me to develop rugby. Since then I have accepted and loved rugby.

"Because when persons want to go back, it's tough in Australia, even if it's not what I want to do."

Riley predicts that after the breakup of the third division if there is no national rugby championship, there will be more ways to bridge the gap between club rugby and super rugby.
