Henry Speight on attack for the Brumbies in one of his earlier outings

ACT Brumbies hero, Henry Speight has vowed to give everything he got to help the Wallabies become an international powerhouse after the Australian government ended years of heartache by granting his family visitor visas.

Fijian‑born Speight's five siblings were reunited for the first time in seven years last weekend, with Davila and Jerry allowed into the country just days after Speight became eligible to play for Australia.

Speight says there were tears from every family member when Davila and Jerry arrived, and it was the perfect tonic for the hamstring injury which has stalled Speight's test aspirations.

Speight said he could now focus solely on his performance rather than his eligibility and his family's visa requests.

The Wallabies will take on the Springboks at 4.05am Sunday before the All Blacks take on Argentina at 11.10am.
