departments,together with the other loose forwards, that he became really effective and this improved the team's ball retention GAVIN UREN: Natal Schools Reserve, Natal Schools Development,Honours,Highways XV He has a very good all round ability and can play just about anywhere in the backline. In the last two seasons he has developed way beyond expectations and can be very satisfied with his performances this season. His tactical kicking was brilliant at times and he kept us in the opposition's half with the pack going forward. He got his backline away well and has the ability to take on the defence himself. Grant VERBAAN:Final Natal Schools Trials, Colours He has made good progress throughout the season. His strength is his ability to cope under pressure and there are few players who can match his defensive capabilities. This was aptly demonstrated in the Hilton game and was a significant aspect of his play. He has good hands and the ability to take on the opposition in attack. SEAN WESTERHOE: Reserve for Central Unions, Natal Schools, Honours His physical strength in both defense and attack enabled him to progress well up the selection ladder,his straight aggresive running often cut through the opposition backline and many of his opposite numbers will remember his tackling. He has a future in the game and for him to succeed he needs to develop his vision in attack. The terms "angle of run","change of pace and direction" and "timing of the pass" all need to be refined if he is to succeed at the next level. WESLEY WESTERDALE His workrate in both attack and defence was his strong point. On numerous occassions he would be found supporting his opposite wing on the outside. His running with the ball was always done with a lot of determination and committment and he broke loose of many tackles because of this, he should have an exciting 1996. 2ND XV Captain: M.Nightinglale Vice-Captain: S.
