It’s a good story. James Ramm once trained daily as an Olympic gymnastics hopeful, but gave up the sport when he moved to St Joseph’s College and discovered rugby. Got injured playing at the Tahs.
Then joined Northampton, where he enjoyed four successful seasons in England’s top division & Steve Borthwick let Ramm know he was on his radar. But he wanted to play for the Wallabies.

Wallaroos young guns Faitala Moleka, Waiaria Ellis and Amelia Whitaker are among eight capped players named in the matchday 23 to play New Zealand U21 at One New Zealand Stadium in Christchurch on Saturday (2:30pm AEDT).
Can’t wait to see gun centre Lusiana Vesikula, from Oatley rugby play. She just spent a week with the Wallaroos in Canberra last week to gain valuable experience.
Go well Oz 21’s 👍

Zac Lomax will make his senior Australian debut when he starts at outside centre for Australia A against the USA in New Jersey on Saturday morning AEDT.
There are a number of changes due to rotation. Glad HMP gets a start. I’m interested to see how Toby Macpherson goes & will start at lock with Nick Frost.

95-Test Kurtley Beale inked a new deal with Western Force for a season-long train-and-trial deal for 2027, before getting the national call-up alongside James Ramm and Kalani Thomas.
Izaia Perese the Reds' marquee recruit of 2027 never thought he would return to play for the state which launched his international career at age 18 - and that he left disgraced at 22.
The second batch of matches in the Nations Championships is only nine days away. Here is how the teams in Europe are shaping up. From Matt Cotton in the Oz today.
Kurtley Beale is back Channel Nine News reporting tonight.
James Ramm, Kurtley Beale & Kalani Thomas have earned call-ups to the Wallabies squad for their four-Test tour of the UK in November.
“Ramm’s call-up comes ahead of Dylan Pietsch and Corey Toole, who were both regular starters for the Wallabies last year but have fallen out of favour with Kiss.”
Scans have revealed Tom Hooper did not suffer a fracture to his injured shoulder so it is hoped he will now be available to take on Scotland and Wales .
