Force's teenage tyro has eyes on the game

A Super 14 debut playing alongside former schoolmate and Wallabies young gun James O'Connor is at the top of the Christmas wish list for Western Force rookie Stefano Hunt.

The highly-rated 18-year-old, who is a cousin of AFL convert and Brisbane Broncos rugby league star Karmichael Hunt, has spent the past month involved in pre-season training with the Force after signing a rookie deal for the 2010 season.

The youngster played with O'Connor as a junior in the first XV back line at Brisbane's Nudgee College.

He said it was a dream to make his debut playing alongside his old teammate next season, but acknowledged that a start in 2011 was more likely.
