Wow what a result. Villefranche look a great side.

How many French players are full time in Super XIII ?

Exactly, Everyone is saying I’m talking nonsense but if there was 17 year old kid starring the championship, every one would agree.

Not saying the kid is a top player in Super XIII, but for 17 years old he is absolutely fantastic. There is no other 17 year olds in the world playing and performing at the standard he is. Albi and Carcassonne would some of the best teams in the championship. I don’t think I overhype players, I just always comment on players i believe have potential.

Never touted it the try of season, just he scored a great try. Which it was 40m solo score out of dummy half. I will link some of Villeneuve’s games and just watch him defend for 5 minutes and watch when big front rower runs at him and I’m sure you will see his tackling ability. He is number 22 with headgear, usually comes in after 15-20 or so minutes and plays the rest of the game. 56:53 on the Lezignan game, just one of many many examples. Sends back a 6’4 100 Kilo Aussie front rower. 1:19:24-Lezignan game 1:37:32-Lezignan 1:42:19-Lezignan Exactly 1 hour in on the St Esteve game is his solo score. He is also already in top the 30 players in MVP voting on the Treize Mondial web site despite only playing 5-6 games.

He’s 17 years old. He’s playing at a higher standard than every other 17 year old in the world and starring for Villeneuve. Super XIII is not far off being on par with championship. He’s playing against guys like Paul Momirovski, David Nofoaluma, Mickael Goudemand, Lucas Albert, Tony Gigot, Ben Lam, Hakim Miloudi and Plenty plenty more players NRL and SL experience.

Really depends on a players work ethic and how much training they put in. Seems like Beauvilliers is very ambitious from reading some interviews and he says it is his dream to play professionally. I agree though he is a long way from reaching his potential but he is already a very quality player, and the fact he is performing in Super XIII at 17 and not just academy or U19s, I think he is only going to get much much better.

Yeah they’ve had a few French guys in their system. Levy Nzgonzou was there a while ago and Cesar Rougé and Baptiste Fabre wen’t on trial there.

Will certainly take your word for it then if your son was chatting to him yesterday. Let’s hope he grows because his size would be the only keeping first grade clubs from picking him up.

The roosters have signed Griffier and are trying to sign many more French juniors, hopefully Beauvilliers gets a contract. I’m sure other clubs would be interested as well but the roosters are the only NRL club which I know for sure “scout” Super XIII and France.

Won player of the tournament as well I read.

Came off the bench after about 15 minutes but then played the rest of the game, that’s how Villeneuve use him most of the time. Similiar to Harry Grant for the storm in the past.

Giovanni Desclazi-Ganthier 2006 Catalans Adrian De La Rose 2007 Limoux Sacha Kouassi 2005 Villenueve Alexis Lis 2005 Avignon these guys are certainly the best front rowers coming through.

I am pretty confident he has grown since that last measurement. I didn’t say he is one of the best players in the world, I assume you’re referring to me saying he is one of the best 2007 born playrers. I think that is a fair comment, guys like Onitoni Large, Haemasi Makasini, Rex Bassingthwaite are better but he is not far behind. I watch a lot of Junior Australian rugby league and Beauvilliers would without a doubt be one of the best players in Harold Matthew’s (U17s) comp. Let’s hope he grows because he undoubtedly has the skill set to go right to the top. As mentioned though Rob Burrow is an all time great at only 5’5 so anything is possible.

Yeah another solid performance, especially defensively, it amazes me how he can tackle 100+ kg front rowers with ease and drops them on their backs by himself. Very good organising in attack aswell and great deception.
