I sincerely hope Waldo Wessels goes on to have an illustrious professional rugby career.

What a name!

Also, I wonder if Jacob Rakic is related to the smh rugby journo Josh Rakic?

Great name great player - and a ranger

Michael Wells is the Aussie Schools No8. I didnt take him for a 7's player but maybe he has some solid pace... Anyone know whether he has played any 7's before?

I doubt any of them have played 7s before, maybe at the Scots tournaments?

 

[Elfster]

Hasn't Clark been injured all year?

 

[Eyes and Ears]

What's the definition of Junior? U19?

 

[Bowside]

U17 I think.

 

[Iluvmyfooty]

These guys are all under18

Am bit surprised Wells and other schoolboys (if any) has been asked, what with exams coming up etc...

Global Junior events are usually always u18

although I think Wessels is 19

Lewis Holland NSW

Since when was Holland a Tah?

 

[lily]

I thought he was from the ACT.

The aussie boys have finished with a bronze Medal at the Junior Commonwealth Games. They topped their group easily and beat Trindad and Tobago in the QF's. They then lost to Sth Africa 26-21 in the semi. They defeated Scotland in the 3rd place play-off 26-17.

England won the final easily 40-21 over Sth Africa

Did NZ have a team in this? Actually be interesting to know which countries were represented.

 

[Iluvmyfooty]

NZ did not have ateam - Australia represented Oceania
