Karmichael Hunt could get a game for the Wallabies in 2015

Is there anything Karmichael Hunt can’t do? After stints in rugby league and AFL, Hunt is back in rugby union with the Queensland Reds, and online bookmaker sportsbet is offering $8.00 for the all-rounder to break into the Wallabies squad in 2015.

There are remarkable similarities between Hunt’s career and that of fellow code-hopper Israel Folau, but Karmichael is a $5.00 outsider to cross for more tries than Izzy ($1.15) in next year’s Super Rugby season.

Just making the Reds starting side for the opening week of the competition looks tough – Hunt is $2.25 to force his way in, and $1.60 to miss out.

“Karmichael was clearly a better AFL player than Izzy, but it’ll be a tough ask to emulate Folau in the 15-a-side code. Having said that, the way the Wallabies went against the All Blacks, a gold jersey isn’t out of the question in his first season with the Reds,” said sportsbet.com.au’s Christian Jantzen.
