    Stapleton coming of age



    Plays for the Western Force, Can Run a 100 at 10.27, The quiet, Country boy, from NSW. He is the quickest Australian Rugby player we might ever see.

    His name is Stapleton, Brett Stapleton

    He is ranked as one of the fastest Rugby players in the world. Yet he still has dreams he wanted to achieve, He was expelled at Toowoomba Grammar school, for what was believed to be Arson.

    Ranked the 3rd fastest on Rugby 2006 with a speed of 96, no one in World Rugby could catch him down, If he had a one metre head start. He was a key player in the Under 19's Rugby World cup where they ended up taking the title. He has been labeled Electric by QLD Forward, and Skipper John Roe.

    He won the QLD GPS 100 metre open event at the age of 15. With a time of 10.79 seconds, His time only improved from there.

    Stapleton appeared to be a hit in the 2006 APC competition, Where he was the leading try scorer for the Whole competition. Stapleton scored 3 tries, in his 3 games.

    Late in 2006, Australian Sevens coach selected him in the Australian 7's team, where they pulled an upset on one of The great 7's teams in the world, Fiji.


    [EDIT]

    The Western Force secured the talented athlete’s signature over the Queensland Reds and the Brisbane Broncos, which both held talks with Stapleton.
    Stapleton's best 100m time of 10.27 is only 0.01 seconds slower than Australian Patrick Johnston posted in the 100m Final at the 2006 Commonwealth Games in Melbourne.
    Brett loves the outdoor country lifestyle, listing his favourite pastimes as camp drafting, bare-handed pig hunting and working sheep and cattle. He also Enjoys modelling socialising, relaxing, horse riding – camp drafting; reading & music.



    His Nickname is Man Child From other Western Force squad members.


    One thing is for sure Stapleton has a Future in the game.

    Mayyyyybeee, so Probably, once I find some more stuff, Because, I made this myself, you can tell, because It is how a 13 year old would write. But once the Super 14 season starts I am going to try and get some stuff on him when that is on.

    What spelling? But off topic lets get back to it. I will add some more, but I can not find much on him, everything I can find on him is just completely out dated.

    Yep!!! Anyone no some sites where I could find some more information about Stapleton?. Google gives me out of date things. That just say he's quick which we all know he is. I've tried the Southport website, Wikipedia has nothing on him. Only just saying he plays for WA.
