I read that earlier. Unbelievable sacrifice that these players go through. Probably sounds fun only going to school for half the time but when so many fail to make it, what are their employment hopes like? Plus no family holidays or socialising with friends. Sod that.

I guess that for so many of these boys and families, their life prospects are so poor that it's worth the gamble.
