Kids rugby in Australia used to be based on weight rather than age. Is that still the case? I recently read Wally Lewis's biography and it was the case when he was a nipper. He was only a slightly built kid when he was young too. You wonder if he'd have ended up neglected on the wing if he'd come through over here.
My experience of junior rugby is the same as your lad vastman. Some coaches are just in it for themselves.
