DOM Young was put on the road to rugby league stardom by being ‘roughed up’ in his back garden by big brother Alex.
But the England winger’s try scoring feats are far from a surprise to the man who does not need to do much to keep his feet on the ground.
Young’s quartet of scores as England hammered Greece 94-4 on Saturday propelled the Newcastle Knights man to the top of the World Cup’s scoring charts.
Crowds audibly rise in anticipation, defences often trail in his wake, his skill will mean a big money contract when he heads back to the NRL.
For Jamaica star and fellow winger Alex, though, he is still the kid he tackled, sometimes a bit too hard for his parents’ liking, in a garden in Wakefield, West Yorkshire.
