i hope this thread will be more successful then my last one. so pretty the current young players who look promising from the six nations in the starting XV. i'll show an example:

1.) Ross Harrison - strong scrummager definitely one for the future
2.) Christopher Tolofua - a strong ball runner and also looks key in france's lineouts
3.) Henry Thomas - also looks like one off the front rows in englands future.
4.) Iain Henderson - has potential to be something special for ireland
5.) Jonny Gray - has impressed alot off people for glasgow and was pro 12's young player off the tournament
6.) Rhys Ruddock - been a very good player
7.) Matt Kvesic - should be one off englands best backrowers one day
8.) Billy Vunipola - very strong ball runner and will be a future star
9.) Gareth Davies - top try scorer in the pro 12 and look like a good replacement for mike phillips
10.) George Ford - englands future 10 ? most possibly
11.) George North - isn't it obvious
12.) Mark Bennett - deserve's a scotland cap soon an impressive centre and him and dunbar could be a deadly pair.
13.) Manu Tuilagi - well. abit too obvious
14.) Anthony Watson - from what i've seen from him, very good player.
15.) Stuart Hogg - already a scotland star and only 22, expecting some big things from him

yeah i'll do subs.

16.) Rob Buchanan - didn't really know to be honest. just heard good things from him
17.) Rhodri Jones - didn't know anyone else
18.) Samson Lee - did well for wales
19.) Sébastien Vahaamahina - good player
20.) Luke Wallace - anyone else ?
21.) Kieran Marmion - thought good from watching him against argentina
22.) Owen Williams - good 10 i'd reckon he'll do well for wales
23.) Marland Yarde - future england star i'd say.

Gordy Reid is a great bloke, he played a couple games for us at Aberdeen Grammar last year, and was very impressive!
 
My definition of young is eligible to play in the 2012 JWC or younger. I mean, Gordon Reid? He's 27 mon. C'mon now. That said...

1. Ross Harrison
2. Christopher Tolofua
3. Samson Lee
4. Elliott Stooke
5. Jonny Gray
6. Iain Henderson
7. Matt Kvesic
8. Billy Vunipola
9. Dan Robson
10. Paddy Jackson
11. George North
12. Stuart Olding
13. Gael Fickou
14. Marland Yarde
15. Stuart Hogg

16. Luke Cowan-Dickie
17. Alex Allan
18. Kyle Sinckler
19. Dom Barrow
20. Dan Baker
21. Kieran Marmion
22. Henry Slade
23. Leonardo Sarto

Mildly irked not to have room for Elliot Daly. Slade's ahead of Ford because I need a 10/12 to cover Olding being used as cover for 15. Appalling Anglo-bias but, hey, we're better than you.

oh s**t he is why did i think he's 21 f**k
 
I like what I've seen of Russell but couldn't see my way clear to including him.

Jackson and Ford are the very clear outstanding choices for this based on achievement so far - but you could make a case for Russell, Williams, Heathcote, Allen, Slade, Hanrahan, Patchell... there's a crazy amount of talent around at fly-half at the moment.

if it helps with the team then he is eligible to play inside-center
 
I dont know how old he is but he was young when i saw him get his debut for france but i just remembered about france's fijian winger Noa Nakaitaci who got two tries on his first cap for france and scored about 12 for clermont
