[QUOTE="TRF_heineken, post: 662743, member: 40658"] Yes exactly this. If you look at the Springboks for example, we currently have Jan Serfontein, Handre Pollard and Eben Etzebeth all playing for the Senior side that at a time played together in the Junior World Cup. But other than that, you might get 1 or 2 guys that will make the cut for the senior side eventually. If I have to look at this year's tournament, then the stand-out NZ'er, was Tevita Li, who ran other teams ragged. But I don't think he'll play for the All Blacks, mainly because he's not better IMHO than the current NZ wingers. And then again, you could get guys that played for the Junior All Blacks but underperformed and then in a few year's time, they get a call up as they have grown and gotten experience along the way...
