Big moment tonight as I presented Tom "the franchise" Dunlop with a blues development jersey.
I'm yet to see him play a game, but he looks the goods, and most importantly has the right attitude.
He is a 15, and although I mainly played 10/12, I did make my prem and Auckland colts starting debut at 15. I'm hoping I can teach him a few tricks of the trade, on and off the field 🤫
At the same age, he is heavier and faster, so thinks he must be better. We'll see 👀
Naming himself "the franchise" he has the confidence, which is a great start.
Welcome to Arnold, and True North Rugby Mr Dunlop.
Those that know me, know I'm all about the hustle. My goal is to find a Canadian back who can make it in super rugby in NZ.
Has it happened? Can it happen? Will it happen...
If I had to put money on it, from what I've seen and worked with in Canada, ish the fish is my pick. Thomas Isherwood
Canadians, who should I know about? Any diamonds in the rough? Or maybe a rough one in the diamonds...
Happy to help anyone looking for extra skill work, get in touch.
