Zac plays for Australia

One-time Woy Woy junior Zac Fell will be pulling on the green and gold after being chosen to represent Australia A in rugby union.

The St Edwards student has come a long way since his first season for the Woy Woy Lions Junior Rugby Club under-9s and is the first St Edwards' student to play for Australia in rugby union.

Zac currently plays flanker for Gordon Rugby Club in the first grade Colts side and trains two nights a week in Sydney.

His selection in the Australia A squad came through his performances for the NSW team where, despite playing the third game injured and sick still managed to impress selectors.

The team will play in September against Tonga and New Zealand after which a team will be selected to tour England.

Zac's mother Dina said Zac was "very dedicated" and had already talked to the ACT Brumbies about a training camp next year.
