Shneil Singh who has links to India could be the first Indian All Black in the making after being called into Craig Philpott's first New Zealand under‑20 rugby squad this week.

International recognition comes as no surprise to Singh's club and school coaches, who tip the 19‑year‑old for the very top.

Head coach of St Paul's in Hamilton, Andrew Gibbs says Singh is one the most outstanding young men he has coached in his time at St Paul's.

Singh was playing senior club rugby straight out of school for Morrinsville who have struggled desperately in 2016 and have been relegated from Waikato's premier competition.

Morrinsville's team manager, Brett Johnstone says someone said this young Shneil Singh is an All Black in the making.

He says when he first looked at him, he said to him 'you're going to be the first Indian All Black'.
