U20 6 Nations 2017- Stars of the Future: If there's grass on the pitch play ball

[munstermuffin]

Bloody size of that lad. Has en espoirs contract with Tolouse, no idea if he's any use, but we're sure to find out. Only 18.

Have heard good things so am excited. If he has the grit of his father there will be no fear.

 

[Vieux Talonneur]

Hope he's inherited his mother's temperament.

 

[Groundhog]

Keep the Ulstermen away from him and don't insult his dad's pub. What are the odds if he can run 15 feet without falling over people will be crying out for a province to sign him up. We do try to hoard anyone IQ very jealously.

 

[Raggs]

Ted Hill is one of England locks, apparently not unlikely he'll be starting some games, and he's only 17.

I hope he has big Trevs temper. The man was wrongly treated within Ireland and made great career based on that chip on his shoulder.
You need that bit of begrudgery

Don't think he'll be IQ if he plays for France u20s?

Don't think it matters, Trevor Brennan won't want his son playing for Ireland from what I can tell.

Factor in that his last action as a pro rugby player was punching an Ulster fan and I think its safe to say that unless his son built an affinity with Leinster rather than his father's club and local club he'll be the first Irishman to play for France!

Who'll be the last Frenchman?

And his father has major dislike for few in Leinster and IRFU so doubt he will be persuaded. Also he's lived in France since he was 2 or 3 so is more French really

Nice sped up video, bro!

 

[Groundhog]

Bloody hate Michael's even if I have family who went there. Was at that match where the poor fella who pulls an intercept just gets run down. Serious player Kelly looks though. Very big and athletic.

I wouldn't hold that against him now. Umaga's nephew lining up for England as well. If that Hastings boy is playing for Scotland we'll have a regular old former greats-off

Hastings is too old, I think.

Might not be too long until you see Lynagh Jr. though!

Exactly. No problem with him playing for France since he's lived there for most of his life and he was brought up in the French culture. If he played for Ireland he could be considered a poach!

That's true and I've a feeling he feels nothing but loyalty to Toulouse. After all his memories will all be of his dad playing in Toulouse and him being nurtured there

 

[Groundhog]

Bill Jonston, (easily the best out half in the age grade available) will be fit in a couple of weeks but will not play in the tournament because he wants to stake a claim in the Munster squad instead, which is the right move because we're bound to be a bit experimental during the 6N

France have a 6'7", 160kg lock named [FONT=&quot]Maamry Walid.

He's 17.

Binny bunibona was 150kg at some point in his teens, so for Density, he wins.[/FONT]

Looking at France pack they all have impressive stats
