Maya goodness: Is this the best player in Australian rugby right now?

If you can find a better player in Australian rugby than Maya Stewart right now, you’re doing well. The Wallaroos winger is in white-hot form and was outstanding again in Australia’s tense 33-26 win over South Africa in the WXV2 on Sunday morning in Cape Town.

Stewart scored in a sixth straight Test, and broke Tricia Brown’s all-time Wallaroos record of 14 career tries.

Do yourself a favour and search up Stewart’s tries recently - the pick was against Wales last week, where she beat six from 55 metres out, and against South Africa she also turned on a bit of Lomu-esque power to set one up.

As a finisher, Stewart is only challenged in Australian rugby by Maddi Levi, Tim Ryan and teammate Desi Miller, so cop the tip Rugby Australia: the NRLW types will be circling Stewart like sharks.

The Wallaroos are finally finding form under Jo Yapp, and take on Scotland for the WXV2 title next Sunday.

Joseph Suaalii is set to be on deck with the Wallabies at their Sydney training camp on October 14, and then go on tour with Schmidt’s squad next month.

We hear talks between RA, Suaalii and the Roosters have gone smoothly........
