Get this kid playing Union.

Showed some great ability, no distribution to his game though and a lack of straight running... (Last bit was a joke, his awareness and ability is phenomonal)

This is the second one. The step at just after 30 seconds... My word.

He'll never make it. He'll continue to impress up until aged 15 when everyone else has improved defensively. He probably won't learn how to distribute or link up with team mates if he continues to just stick the ball under an arm and run fast.

The next generation of pro players will all talk about this guy who was great when they were kids and wonder why he never made it.

Six is a little young to say anything definitively. Yeah his ability to run with the balls is leagues ahead of all the others in his age group but that doesn't mean it'll stay that way. Also in ten years he may not even like rugby.

Around the 2:17to 2:32 marks he does brilliantly to spoon Thomas Waldrom twice
Needs to work on his swan dives mind.

Good skills from a youngster but would he want to play union? I mean he may not like getting tackled and having a ruck formed on top of him with 3 fat kids sitting on his chest. Good luck to the boy though

The most entertaining game of league Ive ever seen!

He'll never make it!!!

What a ridicolous comment, how on earth can you make that judgement, he is only a kid. Hilarious video though, thanks

Pretty negative comments. Still, if he has a go and isn't good enough he can always become a ref

Thats how most end up.

But yea its negative but we've all played with these type of guys who are amazing as teens and dont develop new skills.

You need to get out of the bitter barn fella!

Who me? I'm not bitter. I have no ill feeling to a talented 6 year old.

I am only pointing out the dangers that lie ahead.

Im a big believer that hard work beats talent if talent doesn't work hard.
