Lachie Swinton is set to leave Australia and play for Bordeaux following the Super Rugby Pacific campaign. The move may benefit his development and provide him with more play time due to the demanding schedule in France’s top league. Despite Swinton’s departure, there are other options for the Wallabies and Waratahs at the No. 6 position. Swinton’s return to Australia in the future could be beneficial and may allow him to further advance his career. His potential development and improvement abroad could make him a key player for the Wallabies in the future, possibly in time for the 2027 Rugby World Cup.
