Since 1992, the Bronze Boot award has been given to the best Australian and New Zealand Schoolboy of the season, with the likes of David Pocock, Carlos Spencer, George Smith and the late Jerry Collins all past recipients.

On Saturday, Australian hooker Lachlan Lonergan and New Zealand No.8 Devon Flanders joined the illustrious list.

In the last 25 years, 8 Bronze Boot recipients have gone on to play for the Wallabies and 10 winners have since played for the All Blacks.

Note: In 1994 and 2001 the Bronze Boot was awarded to the best Welsh and English player respectively.
