LIST | When rugby stars met their rugby idols when they were kids
1. Marcus Smith & Marland Yarde
Quick feet, crisp passing, pace, intelligent kicking, interceptions and even breakdown skills have been at the heart of Marcus Smith’s emergence as the finest young fly-half in the country. Here he is posing for a picture with Marland Yarde. It’s mad to look at.
2. Siya Kolisi & Schalk Burger
A photo of former Bok flank Burger signing an autograph for Kolisi when the latter was still a pupil at Grey High has gone viral on social media. Burger said that while he doesn’t remember the exact moment, he still has fond memories of watching Kolisi develop into the leader he is today.
3. Andy & Owen Farrell
Hopefully, this will be the only time we see Owen Farrell in a rugby league jersey. The image alongside his cross-code international Dad Andy, which fronted a rugby league magazine in the 1990s, has gone viral a few times in the subsequent years. Everybody's first idol is their Dad.
4. Gary & George Graham
Between 1997 and 2002, Graham Sr won 25 international Scotland caps as a loose-head prop and starred for the title-winning Newcastle Falcons. His son Graham, who currently stars for the Falcons, acted as mascot for the Falcons during that time.
5. George Furbank & Scott Quinnell
Here's the future England fullback pictured with legendary Wales number 8 Scott Quinnell.
6. Henry Slade & Jonny Wilkinson
He wasn't quite a kid, but a 19-year-old Slade said his 'life was made' after he met his idol Jonny Wilkinson.
7. Faf de Klerk & Joost van der Westhuizen

- Jordie Barrett over Damian de Allende is far from being correct. The hype around Dupont is also overreaching, he's probably 4th in the world and has been since the 2023 WC. He also avoids certain matchups which is strange. The rest of the list is pretty good apart from minor subjective biases.JasonMarlow16-09-2026
