Sažetak
International competition becomes more challenging as competitors reach top performances at an increasingly younger age. Scientific methods of identifying and developing talent in youth sport are not widely used at present, especially in rugby. The aim of this study was to compare the rugby specific skills, physical and motor abilities and anthropometric data of national-, provincial- and school talented youth rugby players. A number of 382 under twelve players were tested on a total of 29 tests. The results indicated that the national players performed the best in most of the rugby skills and physical and motor abilities. This group also showed a more appropriate talent for rugby than the other groups. The results available can also help a coach in the selection of talented rugby players. However, more research is needed for more accurate predictions.
