Young Player of the Tournament.
by jay_welsh Sun 16 Oct 2011, 9:22 pm
First topic message reminder :
Considering the ill feeling there has been these past two days, i thought id try and look at the positives achieved from our world cup, which led me to wonder who everyone thought was the best young player on show these past few weeks. As a completely biased welshman, and for his performance yesterday, id be inclined to go with Toby Faletau. He is one of many talented, young welsh players, but he saved his two best performances during our two biggest games against SA and France, and whats even more frightening is that he is only 20 years old. So for those reasons, he'd be my pick, and i assume he could be a few others as well. But if not, who would you guys go for?

It should be a condition of him playing for England that he shaves that ridiculous beard off!
He's going to be a pretty scary looking gnome when he's in his 50s.

Agree with those who nominated Faletau, North, Dagg, Jane, Tuilagi, SOB. I'd add Cian Healy to that mix - came of age during the RWC and will be a pillar of the Irish team for years to come. Now, if only we had another tight head to back up Mike Ross!!

Young Keith Earls bagged five tries which isn't so mean.
And of course young Murray was outstanding in the game against Wales.
