Just saw this from Chambo's wikipedia page:
" Oxlade-Chamberlain nearly chose rugby over football when he was offered a trial at London Irish. Oxlade-Chamberlain played rugby at scrum half or full back.
'My senior school didn't play football. It was a rugby and cricket school and as I was on a sports scholarship I was forced to play rugby. I played scrum-half or full-back and I was all right at it. I got a trial for London Irish but couldn't do it because Southampton wouldn't let me.' "
Conclusion: Theo needs to have Rugby training and to bulk up in order not to be totally eclipsed by his new and much more exciting colleague.

i think ramsey was scouted when he was part of the cardiff academy - probably at an age where it's not necessarily a disadvantage to be built like a twig.
