'Junkyard dog' wows greats with insane hat trick
Queensland rugby has a new cult hero after Tim Ryan – aka the ‘Junkyard Dog’ – scored a hat trick in his first Super Rugby Pacific start on Saturday night.
The rangy 20-year-old winger said Reds hooker Matt Faessler was responsible for the nickname and had mixed feelings after losing a 41-34 classic in Brisbane.
The Blues stunned the Reds with the winning try to reserve halfback Sam Nock after the fulltime siren.
