But that’s not the only signing the young fullback has made, also inking a deal with the New Zealand sevens.

“He’s just signed a contract with New Zealand Sevens, Auckland and Auckland Blues,” the ex-All Black reported on the Between Two Beers podcast.

“We’re very proud of him. He’s got a great opportunity now the door is open but the hard work starts and the rest is up to him now.

“This year he’s been contacted by a few unions… he made the decision rugby is his future and where he wants to be.”

Payton’s scintillating play for Hamilton Boys High School’s First XV team inevitably started to make waves on social media and amplified the chatter around the 18-year-old’s potential.

That noise was only furthered when the Hamilton Boys team claimed the national title.

“As parents we just let him do his own thing. We’ve stood back and let him make his own decisions.

“He was approached from the Chiefs, the Highlanders and Crusaders and the way the Crusaders have been going, I wouldn’t say I was leaning toward him going there, but I wouldn’t have been sad had he gone there; and knowing the history I have with the Crusaders,” Spencer joked.

“But this is his decision and he decided he was going to be happy in Auckland. That was purely his choice on his own. We’re just there to support him, we’re not there to make the decisions for him.”

Payton’s athletic ability was plain to see from an early age according to his father, but it wasn’t applied to rugby, Payton was also a strong performer in his high school’s first XI cricket team.

“When it comes to the skillset, he was just one of those kids you know straight away he had something. The natural ability was there.

“We try and instil the discipline in him… living in South Africa for seven-and-a-half years, I thought it was the best place for our kids to go to school. In terms of respect and discipline.

“That place was amazing, he learned a lot there about discipline and respect. We instil a lot of that at home as well.”

Leinster cleanse palette with record URC scoreline against Zebre

My name is Solenn Bonnet, and I am a single mother navigating the challenges of raising my two-year-old child while trying to make ends meet. I came across a trading platform that promised astonishing daily profits of 18%. The allure of such a high return on investment was too tempting to resist, and I found myself drawn into cryptocurrency trading. Excited by the prospect of financial freedom, I invested a significant amount of my savings, totaling over 5.7 BTC. However, what started as a hopeful venture quickly turned into a nightmare. The platform was a scam, and I lost everything I had invested. The emotional toll of this loss was immense; I felt devastated and helpless, struggling to provide for my child and keep up with my bills. In my desperate attempt to recover my funds, I sought help from various recovery experts. Unfortunately, I encountered numerous fraudulent individuals who claimed they could help me retrieve my lost money. Each time I reached out, I was met with disappointment and further scams, which only deepened my despair. Last year was one of the most challenging periods of my life, filled with anxiety and uncertainty about my financial future. Feeling overwhelmed and at a loss, I confided in a close friend from church about my situation. She listened compassionately and shared her own experiences with financial difficulties. Understanding my plight, she introduced me to Tech Cyber Force Recovery, a group of skilled hackers known for their expertise in recovering lost funds. Skeptical yet hopeful, I decided to reach out to them as a last resort. Their services came at a higher cost, but my friend generously offered to help me with a partial payment. I was amazed by how quickly they responded and began the recovery process. Their team was professional, efficient, and incredibly supportive throughout the entire ordeal. To my relief, they successfully recovered more than I had lost to those heartless scammers. This was truly transformative, and I felt a sense of relief and gratitude that I hadn’t felt in a long time. I strongly encourage anyone who has faced similar challenges or fallen victim to scams to reach out to Tech Cyber Force Recovery. If you’ve invested in a fraudulent platform like I did, they are highly capable of helping you reclaim your hard-earned money. Don’t lose hope; there is a way to recover what you’ve lost.
