Most Watched 2017: The monstrous NZ Schoolboys backline
By Online Editors
New Zealand are always expected to bring a strong line-up in the annual schoolboy test match against Australia.
This year, however, the potential starting back line is monstrous.
With most already aligned or signed with professional academies, this could be a special year for the side and will be more than a handful for the Australians, who last tasted victory in the schoolboy test in 2012.
Based on the 25-man squad selected to visit Sydney we've put together a highlight reel of this back line, which includes the younger brother of an All Black.

Everything ok, but I honestly don't get it. What's the point? I guess it's good to have a hooker/flanker option in anycase, ok, but what has that to do with the Jamie George's amount of minutes on or off the field him being captain? If his performance really dips early in the second halves and you have to pull him out, you're then going to lose your captain on stage whoever subtitutes him, no matter if it is a pure two or an hybrid player instead.
Go to commentsNZ are rebuilding around some very experienced and accomplished players. Wales not. Their starting 15 has fewer caps than about 3 of the more experienced Boks.
Whoever the Welsh head coach is, they are going to need at least another 12 months to start showing real success.
It would be crazy to move on from Gatland, IMV.
