Three participants pass SAS Australia course

Three recruits have passed the SAS Australia selection according to the Directing Staff led by Ant Middelton.

Retired NRL star Darius Boyd, NRLW player Millie Boyle and motorsports presenter Riana Crehan passed the course -but former Bachelor Locky Gilbert, was culled by his teammates after a gruelling challenge involving a helicopter drop into the ocean and escape vehicle.

“I’m f***ing devastated,” said Locky. “That was hectic. I think [the best way] to fight through the disappointment of making it to the last day is just think about what I’ve done. It’s being able to fail and learn from that and f*** I’ve failed. So now I just need to learn from it and take all these lessons into life and just become a better person.”

In the final test, Darius, Millie and Riana had to repel down a 100-metre-high cliff face to retrieve a vital kit, before climbing back up in just 15 minutes.

All 3 passed final selection.

Riana said: “This really has been the hardest thing I’ve ever done in my whole life. Like physically, mentally, emotionally… everything. It’s definitely life changing.”

Darius said: “To be honest it’s just such an amazing experience. I didn’t think it was possible. It’s just an amazing feeling.”

Millie said: “I am just buzzing with emotion. It’s been the longest two weeks of my life but the best two weeks. It’s just amazing.”
