Kids going to be a STAR in the mold of Troy Polamalu. Mark it down that I said it first. He's Quick, Strong, Smart with great ball skills. He has all the intangibles.

We shall see. He and Mesko can prctice scrums together! Am I totally butchering australian rules vs rugby?

Hey Dragon, yes, you are. Aussie rules is way different to rugby. Aussie Rules players tend to be taller/thinner vs. rugby players, and IMO do lots of prancing around, jumping for, and kicking balls. Rugby players (both League and Union) are a tough smashmouth lot you wouldn't want to mess with. -

Rugby players also have exceptional ball skills, thus I have been waiting to see if he get a shot at punt return. He should have the ball skills and vision to make him worth a try. One interesting thing to notice is on his interception return you could see that he thought and looked to lateral the ball before going down. Old habits die hard.
