Michael Little looks ready for game time at the next level.
He seems to have a lot power for a midget (by modern rugby standards). He also has a great work rate.. if you follow him during a game you'll see how often he is cleaning up others mistakes etc

Is that Walter Littles son ? sounds like he has a lot of Dads qualities if it is......

Yes, I know. Some of you older lads use Viagra, the younger lads maybe magazines or the internet. Myself, I always find videos of our up and coming talent a powerful turn-on.
-
@kiwiinmelb Were all those players in that video backs? The new rules make it hard to judge a lot of forward play.

Yeah I've been very impressed with Little's workrate in defence. An accurate tackler that hits hard for someone who would be less than 6 feet tall.

Being a forward at ruck time requires the balance and footwork of Michael Flatley

I feel sorry for people like that. They have to tip toe just to piss in a urinal.

For Canterbury, Bird, Thompson and Goodhue are very impressive.
For Auckland, the Ioane brothers have their moments but lack consistency. Greg Pleasants-Tate is very consistent without being flashy, he's having a very good year. A much underrated player IMO.
I also like the BoP blindside flanker, Parete. He has the potential to earn a S18 contract.
If the NZ franchises look for a good goalkicker, they could have a look at Peter Breen (Northland). But he is slowish in attack (and defence). -

With a double barrelled surname and steady play he is due for a cap in the next year.
-
Speaking of double barelled surname, I have just watched a replay of Counties Manukau vs Wellington and I was really impressed by Walker-Leawere. Counties had massive forwards but he ran through them at ease. However, he looks very heavy so can't be lifted in the LO. That means his team needs an additionnal jumper in the backrow.
-
Michael Collins from Otago has toiled hard. Been impressed with some of ball carrying so far this season.
-
We must now be at the point where two adults with double-barrelled names are marrying and breeding together. Does this mean we might soon be having quad-barrelled names? I most surely hope so. Almost as a big fuck-you to parents who can't work their shit out. I think mixed names are the way to go. Umaga and Jensen = Jenaga. Much tidier.
