For the Australian build up to the 2009 IRB Junior World Championship in Japan I will continue to put up feature articles in the one thread as they appear on the IRB site or media.

As we get closer, or if the thread gets hijacked, then I'll start to divide up the articles into seperate threads.

Australia should certainly be looking forward to a competitive outing in Japan with many fantastic young players currently performing in Australia.
