Nyngan's Terrance Ryan and Sonny Knight are equipped with enough speed that could take them anywhere in the game of rugby, according to former Australian Men's Sevens assistant coach Jarrod Hodges.

Hodges was in Nyngan on Thursday for Rugby Australia's #dreamBigTime tour, a talent ID program designed to unearth Indigenous talent across the country and find a future Australian Sevens Olympic star.
The tour through NSW, South Australia and Northern Territory is one of three planned by Rugby Australia in order to reach all corners of the country, and Hodges said there was already much talent across the region.
"We've discovered there's an abundance of talent and it's about access and opportunity," Hodges said after Thursday's trial session in Nyngan.
"If you give these guys with the talent that access, opportunity and experience, within a high performance program we'll see that grow which will take that to the next levels."
Hodges was joined at Larkin Oval by a number of coaches, players and also former Wallaby Glen Ella.
"We're very fortunate in our team, we've got the experience of Glen as a player and as a coach ... we've got myself as a former assistant coach of the Men's Sevens team, and then we've got the silver medallist from the women's team," Hodges said.
Seven students were in action at Nyngan on Thursday with Ryan and Knight singled out for their potential.
"I think with Terrance and his speed time ... Rugby Sevens is a quick game and you've got to have speed ... and Terrance's 40 metre time was the fastest," Hodges said.
"But then Sonny's ability to complete the fitness test there at the end, that time is up there and really competitive with our national men's and women's teams.
"So if you've got a motor like that then there's definitely a place in the game for you."
Following the three tours the top 130 players will be flown to Sydney for a four-day camp in July where their skills will be put to the test in front of a panel of national coaches.
Two squads of 20 will then be chosen to represent two First Nations Sevens sides which will compete in five domestic and two international tournaments.
The long-term goal of the project is to have at least two players join the Australian Sevens squads for the 2024 Olympics in Paris.
However the tour is about much more than solely finding an Olympian, with Rugby Australia putting a major focus on increasing participation rates and Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people.
"It's an incredible team we've assembled to come and impart a little bit of knowledge on our First Nations communities."
And it's not going to stop with the tour, with Ella and Hodges agreeing they will be returning to continue promoting the game within small communities.
"Sport right across Australia is becoming challenging, there's so many more alternatives that our young people are going toward.
"We want to be out promoting a physical and active lifestyle for all those health benefits and we want to do that through Rugby.
"So this is the first time, but it wont be the last and if that helps get those one or two extra people into rugby clubs and playing for schools then we've done our job."
