Tane Edmed candidly concedes he's had a frustrating season, but he isn't giving up hope of retaining his Wallabies jersey.
Edmed moved to Canberra ahead of the Super Rugby Pacific season, riding high from featuring as one of Joe Schmidt's Test fly-halves in 2025, but he hasn't enjoyed the playing minutes he would have hoped for.
Instead, Brumbies coach Stephen Larkham has opted to keep Wallabies hopeful Declan Meredith primarily in the No.10 jersey, with Edmed making his mark off the bench in the majority of matches.
Regardless, Edmed feels he's grown his ability to make the final minutes count, although it hasn't come without its mental challenges.
"It's definitely been a little bit frustrating around my minutes and opportunities, but I'm just trying to execute my role as well as I can for the team," he told AAP.
