EASTERN Suburbs coach Ben Batger  believes his star halfback Teddy Wilson is ready to  put the pressure on Wallaby No.9 Jake Gordon at the NSW Waratahs next season.

He made the observation as Wilson prepares to again play a key role for the Beasties in Saturday’s grand final qualifier against Warringah at North Sydney Oval.

The game will be another opportunity for the gifted 21-year-old to showcase his skills in a high-pressure do-or-die clash.        

“He has been outstanding for us,” Batger told Rugby News of ahead Saturday’s showdown.

“This is the first time he has been able to play more than five games of 15s in a row.
