Former Wallabies scrum-half Will Genia is keen to have another crack at the British and Irish Lions after the heartbreak of losing the 2013 series.<\/b><\/p>\n
The 37-year-old hung up his Test boots at the 2019 Rugby World Cup in Japan, and while he is eager to have another shot at the Lions, he is not targeting a Wallabies recall.<\/p>\n
Will Genia issues \u2018come and get me\u2019 plea<\/p>\n
He has instead issued a \u2018come and get me\u2019 plea to former All Blacks boss Ian Foster, who will coach the Invitational Australia & New Zealand team as well as the First Nations & Pasifika XV.<\/p>\n
Genia<\/a>, who played 110 Test matches for the Wallabies<\/a>, is currently preparing for a relegation-promotion tie with Japanese club Hanazono Kintetsu Liners, who will face Division One outfit the Honda Heat in back-to-back matches.<\/p>\n The Liners have confirmed that Genia and long-time teammate Quade Cooper will be leaving the club at the end of the season, and while the latter is set to hang up his boots, the former isn\u2019t ready just yet.<\/p>\n After starting all three Test matches for the Wallabies back in 2013 against the British & Irish Lions<\/a>, which Australia lost 2-1, Genia is ready to have another go at beating the famous touring team.<\/p>\n Former England scrum-half Ben Youngs put the question to the Australian on the For the Love of Rugby<\/a> podcast, and his answer was emphatic.<\/p>\n \u201cAye mate, I\u2019d love to put my hand up for both teams, the ANZAC XV and the Pacific Island team,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n \u201cI qualify for both so I\u2019m just waiting for someone to hit me up.\u201d.<\/p>\n Will Genia: \u2018Jamison Gibson-Park is easily the best halfback in the world\u2019<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n
