Henri Laird, who played for England aged 18 years and 134 days in 1927. The youngest in the professional era was James O'Connor, playing for Australia at the age of 18.

This may be so, but as of Saturday 20th March 2010 - this will become Tom Prydie of Wales - making his debut v Italy aged 18yrs and 25days.

A youngster aged 16 years by the name of Steve Arneil played for Northern Rhodesia in 1950 just a year after the Rhodesians beat the All Blacks 10-8!

Possibly Lui Paewai who made his All Black debut against New South Wales on 15 Sep 1923 aged 17 years and 36 days. NSW were effectively the de facto Australian team at that time.
