Australian Sevens sign former NRL Bulldogs star Frank Winterstein

Former Canterbury Bulldogs forward Frank Winterstein has joined Australia's Rugby Sevens squad.

The 29-year-old will join the modified game from Japanese rugby, with the lure of playing at the Rio Olympics the major factor.

"(Australian coach) Andy [Friend] and I caught up for an hour or so in Tokyo a few months ago and talked through the opportunities that could be there in Sevens," Winterstein said.

Winterstein, who is the older brother of North Queensland winger Antonio, played five NRL games for the Bulldogs in 2009 before moving to the English Super League and eventually joining Japanese rugby club, Kintetsu Liners 2014.

It was there while playing outside centres he caught the eye of Friend, who had previously coached Japanese side Suntory Sungoliath.

"He'll offer something within the squad that I don't believe we have at the moment which is particularly exciting," Friend said.

"The coming weeks and months will be a steep learning curve for Frank but I have complete faith in his abilities to adapt to Sevens."

Winterstein will be available at selection in all four of the remaining rounds of the World Sevens Series prior to the Olympics.

ESL and RU 29 years old, hope he remembers how to tackle from his 2008 stint at the Dogs 🙂

Just went down to get tickets at brooky, heard Antonio winterstein is playing for us signed 2 weeks ago

Stirrer!

 

[Woodsie]

Regardless of who plays today ... I just pray to the lord of mercy ... that Baz remembers to send out a message saying "catch the ball, just catch the ball!"

If he forgets, we're doomed.

If even half these rumours are true this will be the strangest side we've fielded all year. Since I have zero expectation of us winning I'm excited to see how the new guys go

So there's the future for you boys , a 29 year old, virtually untested Frank Winterstein!

No Lussick, Lyon, Api, Leary at hooker, Wright at 6, and Brown in centres. Dear god why

 

[Mark from Brisbane]

We are soooo screwed.

I think you could say " royally".

That team has about as much chance of beating the Storm as me beating Usain Bolt over the 100 metres.

Storm by PLENTY!!!

 

[The Quirkster]
