Pic: Mark Mitchell Source: Supplied HERE is the proof Australia has the finest and most elite schoolboy rugby league talent in the world. The Daily Telegraph can reveal that no less than 11 of the current Four Nations squad represented the mighty Australian Schoolboys. They are Greg Inglis, Greg Bird, Ryan Hoffman, Aaron Woods, Dylan Walker, Alex Johnston, Corey Parker, Sione Mata'utia, Michael Jennings, Ben Hunt and David Klemmer. The players" schoolboy representation spans 14 years from Parker (aged 32) to Mata'utia (age 18). On Saturday at Westpac Stadium, Wellington, the 11 players posed for an exclusive photograph ahead of the Four Nations final against New Zealand. The Australian Schoolboys have a long and proud history dating back to the early 1970s. "It shows the nice, clear pathway from elite schoolboy rugby league to the national team," said Gareth Holmes, NRL elite programs manager. Look at Sione Mata'utia. He was playing schoolboy football just last season before a dramatic rise to the Kangaroos in the space of only a year. The current Australian Schoolboys are ready to continue the wonderful tradition. They leave for England and France on November 21 for a five week, seven game tour.
