Lennon Miller: 'My dad's only been hard on me once - and I needed it'

Former Wallabies star James Miller has congratulated his son Lennon on a breakthrough Super Rugby season, saying his son needed some tough love along the way.

In an interview with the Sydney Morning Herald, Miller said he had only ever been hard on his son once, and it was something that the young flyhalf needed.

Miller said he had told his son that he needed to be more consistent with his game, and that he needed to work on his kicking.

"I told him that he needed to be more consistent with his game, and that he needed to work on his kicking," Miller said.

"He took it on board and he's worked really hard on it."

Miller said he was proud of the way his son had responded to the challenge, and that he was now one of the best young flyhalves in the country.

"He's a very talented player, and I'm really proud of the way he's developed," Miller said.

"He's got a big future ahead of him."

Lennon Miller: A rising star

Lennon Miller has been one of the breakout stars of the 2023 Super Rugby season.

The 22-year-old has played every game for the Brumbies this season, and has been one of their most consistent performers.

Miller has scored 103 points this season, including two tries, 20 conversions, and 15 penalty goals.

He has also been a key figure in the Brumbies' attack, setting up several tries for his teammates.

Miller's form has seen him earn a call-up to the Wallabies squad for the upcoming Rugby Championship.

He is expected to make his Test debut against Argentina in the opening game of the tournament.

Miller's rise to prominence has been a rapid one.

He only made his Super Rugby debut last year, but he has quickly established himself as one of the best young flyhalves in the country.

Miller's father, James, was also a Wallaby, and he has clearly inherited his father's talent.

Lennon Miller is a rising star of Australian rugby, and he is one to watch in the years to come.
