Boston (12) is having an absolute cracker. His speed and ability to reverse direction of play in a split second is something to see.

he was outstanding today, man of the match was well deserved.

He'll certainly sleep well tonight mate. The whole team gelled so well with 4 sessions of training

Hard to imagine who’d you leave out for a guy like Tonga. Some real outside back talent coming through.

I really like Klem the Fullback. You can see him looking over the field with the ball and makes the right choice 9/10 times. Genuine 15s can have long careers.

Aden Ekanyake has some of the best ball skills I've ever seen for such a big body. Should 100% make whatever team is highest (Aus Schoolboys or junior wallabies???)

 

[The Ghost of Raelene]

He has 6 written all over him in 15s but looks like a ready made elite 7s player.

Already been away with the 7’s. Great hands and exceptionally athletic

Bloody good question

 

[The Ghost of Raelene]

Junior Wallabies/Australia U18s is the highest.

Ekanyake is out of school right? I’d assume you aren’t eligible for Aus Schools if you miss Aus U18s in that scenario.

All these Academy program are designed to give Aus the best U18 eligible players, whether Schoolboys, first year Uni, or 2nd year apprentices. (Ie left school at first opportunity).

But if there is an Aus 18s then Aus Schooboys picked them yes some might drop out (same way certain players wouldn't have been eligible for NSW Schoolboys I or II)

 

[propsarespeedy]

How many of the NSW players are contracted? So good for both teams to beat reds. Big Joe Dillons quick tap try in the 2's game was a quality play loved to see it. Also who are the Aus 18s going to play? Just NZ or a range of teams?

 

[moa999]

I'm sure @Hankspank has more , but I think it was mentioned this was Block A. There is a second Block B team selected in a few months and NSW v QLD game in Sydney in September, and then International selections.

I doubt they’ll be many changes to the Waratahs teams unless there are unforeseen circumstances. No doubt the boys who didn’t make the squad will be pushing for selection against other state schools teams next week.

 

[The Ghost of Raelene]

Reckon any of the boys that played at the League Rep games would be considered for September games?

Unfortunately there is likely to be a couple of them get an injury between now and then which will give some others a go.
