## Resource

At just 21-years-old, Max Jorgensen has already played 20 Test matches for the Wallabies. Chased by NRL clubs, the talented youngster recently committed to Australian Rugby for five years. Only two players - Michael Hooper and Loti Tuqiri - have previously signed similar long term deals. Jorgensen’s decision to pledge his allegiance to rugby is just the beginning.  In the episode of Chiming in, Jorgensen talks about his love for the game, his desire to help Australian Rugby become super successful and the reason why he turned his back on rugby league.
