Re Cameron.
Was he an age grade "star" at all?
Don't follow a lot of age grade or school boy stuff (ie., hardly any except for under 20s tournies, and then I forget them ... ), but am wondering if he showed up as a kid?
@booboo From the article below:
Before secondary school, Cameron played in the junior grades for the Marist Rugby Club, but was then committed to playing for Cullinane College.
His final season in the Cullinane 1st XV was in 2014 when he left school for Lincoln University in Christchurch where he made an immediate impact, playing for the Canterbury provincial team.
Cameron came of age in the 2017 Mitre 10 Cup, making an assured performance in the semifinal in just his third provincial outing for the red and blacks, as Canterbury marched to the Mitre 10 Cup title.
Cameron first came onto the national radar in 2014 when he was plucked from Whanganui's small Cullinane College and named in the inaugural New Zealand Schools training squad.
The all-round sportsman was already well known in Whanganui, having played age-grade rugby.
Last season he was in the New Zealand Universities squad to tour Japan, but only had one game before being injured.
Looking at the allblacks dot com website, he wasn't named in the 2014 NZ Schools squad. Found another site with the teamlist of NZ Schools Barbarians of that year, and he isn't on that list either.

I think TJP has all but surpassed him now.
yea, not so sure about that. TJP still has that erratic as fuck pass. And the last thing our chosen 10 needs is even less time to make decisions (actually check that, maybe making him play off instinct only is the key). And A Smith is still our best organiser. And is still the more accurate kicker.
TJP is better if we are getting bossed at the rucks though, he's bigger, and has a good running game.
I like their one-two punch combo at the moment, especially now that TJP is way less excitable.
@mariner4life TJP is a beast defensively and we’ve needed that more so this season that the last couple. Smith has been exposed defensively and has missed a lot more tackles than we would want.

I wish TJP would learn to kick off both feet though.
I think the commentators pointed out that Argentina always kicked off to the left corner as they knew TJ would always pass back to his 10 for the clearance on that side meaning they gained an extra 10m on the resulting lineout. -

Is there a good example of someone who actually learned to kick off the other foot this late in the game?
Even if he was competent now I can't imagine his max distance on a clearing kick or accuracy box kick is going to be close Beaudens' max minus 10m.
Would be nice to have the threat, but seems impossible.

Zero Vunipola's -
England will be without loosehead prop Mako Vunipola for their entire November international campaign after he was ruled out for eight weeks.Saracens confirmed his injury timescale on Wednesday, which means he joins his brother and number eight Billy in missing the Test fixtures.

Typical Kiwi arrogance. O’Gara has You Tube masterclass videos of his err tackling.
No one else comes close.
