these are predictions based on mere spectating
Nick Anderson plays loose head
but do you not agree that this exposure to the open level will bring these players to become better off, dealing with the increased level of physicallity and skill? compared to what is a rather weak u16s competition? i think those players in 1sts must certainly be considered cause no matter what school, playing 1st XV requires a whole lot more.In saying this, you should also take into consideration that maybe the 16s who aren't quite playing at firsts level could be better than their counterparts at other schools, but it'd be hard to beat their peers who are at an age or two above. Take benroy sala for example, great player and probably one of the top props within the 16s age group, but is easily overshadowed by his older peers and may not get firsts game time, whereas the likes of dan anae and nick anderson would have higher chances at playing at the top level for their respective schools.
fourgreatkids, some schools are harder then others to make firsts look at GT beaten 80 - 0 every weekend according to the couriermail; doesn't prove that playing up a grade makes you better.. playing good rugby makes you better
