'I'm a novice': Lomax admits he has a mountain to climb
Zac Lomax, 2025 Provan-Summons Medal winner, signed with Western Force as a rugby union rookie aiming for dual international status and Wallabies selection.
- On Monday, Zac Lomax signed a two-year deal with Western Force and could make his Super Rugby debut on March 28 against the Chiefs, according to reports.
- Following last week's Supreme Court ruling, Zac Lomax's bid to join the Melbourne Storm was blocked, prompting his switch from league to rugby union.
- Force coach Simon Cron met with Zac Lomax, who sought advice from Wallaby Angus Bell and fellow code-switcher Sonny Bill Williams as he prepares to climb the rugby union learning curve.
- Given his R360 release clause, Lomax cannot sign with another NRL club until October 31, 2027, and the Force's home crowds of 5,000 indicate strong local interest.
- Lomax aims to become a dual international and play for the Wallabies at next year's home World Cup, accepting he is a rugby novice who last played rugby in primary school and committed his future to the 15-man game on Tuesday.
