Well done O'Regan and welcome aboard.
Here is my contribution to get you started on a picture gallery for the speedster.

He's quick

I met him at City Beach once, nice guy...

[O'Regan]

didn't he get expelled from a school in Brisbane?

[Shaun]

For what????

[fulvio sammut]

He wouldn't have done a "Scotch College" would he?
Joking aside though, I haven't seen him play yet.Has he played any club games for Uni? Probably not, as they would have been seriously competitive with him and Lanigan on the other wing, two of the fastest men in WA rugby.

[Burgs]

I've seen footage of him from the Gold matches etc, he seems pretty impressive from the little I've seen.
I believe that he has the dubious nickname of "Man-Child"
Perhaps I should offer him a mustering job during the off-season to keep his cattle skills up?!

IN THE GOLD GAMES AT TOMPKINS PARK I SAW THE RAW SPEED OF HIM... THEY BACK LINE MOVE WAS KICK IT AND LET 'STAPO' CHASE... he scored a couple of trys with that move

I saw him play for Uni against Kala, 2nd last round (or maybe 3rd last) - yessiree bob, fkn quick! He scored 2 tries, one slicing thru from about the 22, untouched. Fancy gold boots too...

He must be one of the fastest players in World Rugby.
