Zac Lomax misfires on union return despite hype over Suaalii duel
- Zac Lomax and Joseph-Aukuso Suaalii both failed to spark as the Waratahs edged Western Force 20-17 in Sydney.
- Lomax, returning to Sydney for the Waratahs after switching from League, and Suaalii were unable to turn a big moment in the game.
- The match was described as a grind and not glamour, with both teams struggling to find space.
- Suaalii returned eight weeks after a hamstring injury, stepping back into action for the Force.
- Lomax’s aerial mastery and fast hands were on display in previous games, but not decisive in this one.
- The match drew a crowd of about 10,906 at Allianz Stadium, reflecting a high-stakes NSW v WA rivalry.
- Lomax had not found space for a major moment after a first-half try by the Waratahs gave momentum late.
- The preview built around a high-profile clash between league and union stars fell short of expectations.
- Both players exited the field in the 59th minute without making a decisive impact.
