Will take a look at 20s tomorrow. 16s and 18s have done well. Agree that half back and full back went well for 16s. 18s started well last night against saints and took a lot of pressure, defensively very good. Doran, Rooney, Tierney and Burgess were impressive, half back Williams was a bit stagnant and didn't move the ball much, Hampshire showed a touch of spark at times. Apart from a few frustrating unforced errors these look an exciting bunch.

I was surprised and a bit disappointed we let him go. Always thought he had a lot of potential, and we're not exactly well off for centres coming through (O'Donnell and Hughes are really converted 2nd rowers).

I too liked Jamie Acton was very disappointed to hear he had left. Thought he had great potential at centre but then was moved into the second row which is what we seem to do a lot as per Matty Crowe!! Look to have a good one coming through from the under 16s in Oliver Gildart but whether we turn him into a second row only time will tell.

The u18's have some quality players and h havn't been beat for two seasons. The pack is strong and a couple of players who has caught my eye are the loose forward Lever who I believe has played in the 20's this season and Wright the hooker. The 18's side must be the best team in the country at that age.
