https://youtu.be/UJA9NIz6ld0 This lad looks like the next big thing. He is back from an injury he picked up in the athletics season, so started off the bench in his first game back and won that game for them, then in his second match as a starter he won the game against Paarl Gim Check out the size of those thighs In the Paarl Gim game he literally put some forwards on their arses and had it been senior rugby those forwards would have been called off for a HIA

Shit he looks unreal. On both defence and attack. Hopefully he gets groomed properly. Him and Simelane at 12 and 13 could be wonderful to see. And they are both black.

Nope him and Bruce Sherwood from Bishops at 12 is the mouth watering prospect as a future centre combination They say that Louis Koen’s son is SA’s Dan Carter at 10 10. Koen 12. Sherwood 13. Julius is the future

Ja, I saw a few of his clips, really strong, big thighs, but then if you look at the school boys he is playing against, there is a huge physical gap. The same was said about Tim Swiel who was by far the best player of his age at school, but he soon got stuck when turning professional. 

So it is hard for me to rave about a school boy when there are not any other similar  players with the same physique, but that said, for his size he has a lot of speed and strength. 

Could be the next Luamape from NZ. Hope he gets the right path to professional rugby.

P.S. Don't forget JP Du Plessis that got a contract out of school to play rugby League in Australia as a 17 year old. Didn't last and never really found his way back into union

The size he is now would make him big even in the senior ranks - no centre playing today has thighs that size - not even JVR or Tuilagi Some of the school boys he put on their arses were hardly small

Well, Lomu was dominant in amateur era, but then players started to become professional and bulked up which made him less effective. I never forgot how Sterling Mortlock put Lomu on his ass with a chest high tackle. That swung the game and the wobblies  won that match. 

I hope this kid succeeds, he seems to have great pace.  

Also, Augustus Groot was IRB Junior Player but now seem to struggle in the professional game. He is doing well for Northampton but not really set the world alight even though many people raved about him and some journalist wanting him to go straight to the boks. 

There is that 13 of the Lions, brilliant player, bit on the smaller side but he can't crack the first team.

How dare you cast aspersions, Saffex !


Yes, Augustus has slimmed down and is playing better for it.
