reading a few posts in this thread i realise there was a little tongue in cheek banter about finding players from uzbeckistan etc.. but in all seriousness, i have just been perusing the Zimbabwe schools rugby facebook page and it really does look like there is a phenominal ammount of talent coming through there this year, most school tours to South Africa and even the prestigious Craven Week went very well with wins on most fronts for even some of the historically weaker teams.
99.9% of these kids will leave school and never touch a rugby ball again, thats a given in any country but for a select few that have a dream, talent scouts from the Force could change their lives (and the fortunes of the team).. You only have to look at some of the product coming out of there in the last ten years to see the potential, these are kids that have been playing rugby from an early age, its bred into them, they have hero's like Godwin, Pocock, Mtawarira, Ngwenya and Mujati and to emulate them is the stuff of dreams.... thoughts?
Simple......we need someone who can kick acurately.......Don't care where they come from....as long as they come to the Force!
Wests Scarborough 1st Grade juggernaut has played finals rugby each and every year since its inception and continues this remarkable feat yet again this season and unbelievably it's still rolling on and as an added little circle jerk for the masses Wests actually hold the record for the current longest unbroken finals record.
With local players starting to come up into the Force squad, and others like the three U20s who are playing for Aus atm, our reliance on ES or O/S players will decrease.
Was chatting to Hodgo yest and he said it was always going to take 8-10 years after we got the franchise for that to start happening.
I'm anxious to see what the next two or three years delivers - I think we will be a genuine 'Force' to be reckoned with!
