Some fantastic performances in Brazil. Their is a lot to be said for experience, even at a young age. If juniors have been to overseas international events in the past, they are in a position to know where they stand and what is expected. It is very difficult to convey to first time international junior players the level that is required at their first event. Overconfidence, holiday mode etc are normal routes for juniors that think they are the business. The realisation that they are in with the continents' or worlds' best can be a huge shock. The mark of them is basically how quickly they can adapt to this massive new challenge. Many are thoughtful, some are initially discourteous, but after a couple of rounds nearly all are listening intently.
If we wish to achieve results at international level, we need to work incredibly hard as a team every minute of every day. It is clear that Angus has done exactly that with a fantastic squad about him. He is to be commended in the highest possible form.
