There is plenty of exciting talent within the Australian clubs ready to step up as we head into the 2023 Super Rugby Pacific season. In a new series, Rugby.com.au sits down with some of the players to watch, looking at NSW Waratahs and Wallabies backrower Langi Gleeson.No one arguably had a more meteoric rise than Gleeson in 2022.It's easy to forget the Manly backrower hadn't even played for the Waratahs this time last year, with the former Junior Wallaby spending the start of 2021 on the sidelines with a knee injury before producing a man-of-the-match performance against the Brumby Runners.This put him on the radar of Waratahs selectors before continuing the form into the 2022 trials, eventually earning a spot on the bench against the Queensland Reds in round two.This snowballed until the 22-year-old found himself rushed into the Wallabies' side to face Scotland in Edinburgh, with the ascension still sinking in for Gleeson.“I still really haven’t processed it and I don’t think I will anytime soon,” Gleeson admits.“I was just trying to get my Waratahs debut last year so it’s been a very interesting season and hopefully I can continue it this year.”It's been clear to see Gleeson's confidence rise as he made the steps from Super Rugby to Australia A and then into the Wallabies set-up.Gleeson's call-up for the Spring Tour was in large part to his impressive showings in last July's Pacific Nations Cup, having played a major role in their wins over Samoa and Tonga.These performances silenced the doubt according to Gleeson, who returns to Daceyville knowing he can match it with the best after starting the last Test of 2022 against Wales. “When you’re starting to get into the professional level, you start to doubt yourself as a young person," he admits.“I think having those few games off the bench in Waratahs and going into Australia A and playing that level, it gives you the confidence that you can be better than you are.“In terms of getting used to the contact, it’s just an experience (that) playing against those high-level players gets you ready for it, (that starting debut against Wales) makes me a lot more confident heading into this year.”Whilst the back-rower was one of the major finds under Dave Rennie, it's a completely fresh slate under new coach Eddie Jones, with Gleeson admitting he doesn't even know if the former England boss had even watched him play before the two trials in Griffith and Narrabri.“I guess even if (Dave) Rennie was coaching I’d still be giving it my all but I do,” Gleeson said when asked if he felt it was a clear slate under Eddie Jones.“It’s interesting because I’m not sure if he’s heard of me so I’ll just try and play the best I can in Super Rugby and hopefully get a call-up."The Waratahs remain his focus, with their quarter-final loss to the Chiefs still hurting the largely settled group from 2022.It's been their catalyst to bulk up the pack, with Gleeson confident they have taken the right steps to match it with the best in Super Rugby Pacific.“That was one of the big objectives for DC (Darren Coleman) this pre-season was to bulk up the boys because last year, especially that Chiefs game, as a pack we were smaller than them and they were running over us," he added.“…We just felt like we could’ve won that game and we had so much more to prove. With the calibre of the boys now and what pre-season has done for us, I feel like we can go beyond that.“…I really want to win a Super title for the Waratahs and I think a lot of boys want to as well, especially from us making it to the finals last year. The whole team has that goal in mind and it’s been a long time coming for us.Click Here: custom injection molding
