Waikato Seven's Boys Impress

Declan O'Donnell had never even been to Westpac Stadium before this year's Wellington sevens, but you get the feeling the young star will be back.The questions now are what coloured jersey will he be wearing and can the 20-year-old Waikato Wonder emulate his sevens feats in fifteens?
O'Donnell was a virtual unknown three days ago, but after scoring 10 tries in two days, including a hat-trick against England in the final of the NZI sevens, he's a household name.
There's plenty to like about the red-haired Maori boy of Irish descent and it's not just the bright red boots, the cheeky rat's tail or the Carlos Spencer-esque grin. O'Donnell's family roots incidentally have strong links to Horowhenua.
