Can anyone give us some names of players ages between 17 and 20 that look like great players.

In either 7's or the full game.

Who's the next Generation of All Blacks wingers ?

5/8 - Kurtley Beale. Just great to watch!
Passing - There is no pass he cannot make.
Running - Cuts up defenses with his quickness and delivers deft balls at the line.
Kicking - Is becoming a sharp shooter. Also has a strong boot.
Defense - Rarely misses tackles.

Not many players are near his calibre.

wait till he gets his 70kg from in front of Jerry Collins and Ma'a Nonu, he won't be getting up. He looks great in GPS, but there are no Ma'a Nonu's in GPS

Well he can improve his defence if needed. Those Tahs need to spread their 5/8s around :p Send Beale down to the Brumbies!

That's true, but do you really expect 17 year olds to be ready for professional football? He weighs around 75-80kg, and should be able to put on more bulk, but he'll lose some of his elusiveness. Think of him in the same mould as Larkham.

Tim Bateman.....
Saw him in the Under19 World Cup....
He will cement the Allblack's #13 position in years to come...

Nonu would have to catch him first. Beale is also a champion hurdler, so he has great foot speed.

And he is a fair bit bigger than 70 kg, and still growing. Wait until he goes into full-time training.

Might help when he run away from nonu when Nonu is charging full speed at him

For Australia,

Greg Holmes, Tai McIsaac and Guy Shepardson. Tremendous power forwards!

He's not aussie but Yannick Nyanga for the French is a future superstar he is a excellent loose forward that can play both sides of the scrum, has tremendous pace and can offload in traffic.
