Player origin Questions

Sorry, a random group of questions. I'll delete this thread after I've achieved my quest.

If anyone can assist with the following I would be most appreciative.

Can you tell me where the following players went to school (just a state/country is fine):

Andrew Tuala
Chris Talakai
Connal McInerney
Folau Fainga'a
Les Makin
Harry Lloyd
Will Miller
Mack Hansen
Billy Pollard
Josh Kemeny
Angus Wagner
Jake Strachan
Dom Hardman

2ndly, can you tell me where the players ended up straight out of school? Club/pro/league etc? Again, just really need a state but if there are some details behind it, that would be great:

Irae Simone (was he still in NZL straight after school or come straight to the Rabbitohs?)
Ben Grant
Andrew Tuala
Chris Talakai
Connal McInerney
Les Makin
Will Miller
Mack Hansen
Josh Kemeny
Angus Wagner
Don Hadman
Jake Strachan

Many thanks.

And adding to that Kemeny played club for Sydney Uni. Pollard only finished school last year so might be hard to say where he is playing.

Pollard straight from Barker College to an EPS contract with Brums. Hansen was an ACT Schoolboy and also went straight to Brums from school.

Thanks. Did Hardman do school in Eng? Assume he played over there before he came here?
And do you know what Ben Grant did post school? Like the year after?

School is not aways readily findable - but your game, your rules.

Our place has an electric wicky in backyard cricket. Others disagree. :)

Out of interest, Mungos aren't disavowed birthers

I’m not basing it on schools. Just want that information for an article.

I wonder if they will have a mother/son, father/daughter or mother/daughter rule?

Mack Hansen...........

Born and bred in Canberra, Hansen was a schoolboy prodigy for Daramalan College, leading his team to an undefeated regular season and Grand Final berth in 2016.

He had an excellent season with the Gungahlin Eagles in the local Aquis Entertainment John I Dent Cup in 2017.

Hansen was a standout for the ACT Schoolboys at the National Championships in the same year, leading the side throughout the tournament from the flyhalf position as they punched above their weight against more fancied opposition. He went on to represent the Australian Schools Barbarians against Tonga, impressing from the fullback position.

Hansen represented the Brumbies in the 2017 Super U20’s competition. Unfortunately, Hansen’s tournament was cut short by injury, ruling him out of the end of the tournament as well as a potential Junior World Cup campaign with Australia.

The youngster will look to make his debut in Super Rugby in 2018.
