[QUOTE="TRUE LEGND, post: 128147"] Its what we in NZ call player grooming... Remember Jonah Lomu was groomed at the age of 14 years old, he was first introduced to counties rugby 7s team by Eric Rush..Then his career blossomed from there..What you have to realize is Wesley Collage is 1 of the most successful Rugby factory's in NZ where Rugby player's are scouted from all over NZ and offered a rugby scholarship. The player's from there rugby academy are groomed from a very young age...Other standout player's who are coming up through the age groups are Uini Antonio, August pulu, and Tau Mata'afa also from Wesley Collage these are some very very big boy's. Some tipping the scale's at 120k Also another player Worth mentioning Tim Nanai Williams from Manurewa High school who also plays for Counties Prems And along with 5 other Wesley players have been Selected for NZ secondary schools camp. Tim run's the 100m in 10 seconds and averages 4 try's a game in the Counties schoolboy first 15 competition Ive seen a few of this guys games and this guy can motor. He is also the Brother of block busting Blues number 8 Nick Williams [/QUOTE]
