THE Western Force could have a Wallaby partnership of the future after snatching another young talent from under the noses of the Queensland Reds.

They have signed hot property teenager Stefano Hunt who played with prodigious talent James O'Connor in the 1st XV backline at Brisbane's Nudgee College.

Hunt, 17, a cousin of Brisbane Bronco rugby league star Karmichael Hunt, can cover five-eighth, inside centre and fullback.

He was a year behind O'Connor at Nudgee.
