@@peterevans3385 Me or Pollock? 😂

@@roberttemple6875 Thank you, Robert. He's a player I've wanted to cover for years. This seemed like the right time. If you haven't watched the second season of Full Contact on Netflix, it's well worth watching for Freddie alone. He seems like a top lad in real life. As for his attributes as a player, I fully concur. He's worked his backside off to get back into the England squad. Thanks for watching and commenting!

@@Pasta745 Very, very good shout from you, mate. Not much love for him tribute-wise, so I will cover him at the end of the Six Nations. That good for you? Thanks for the request. Hope you're well!

@@chaz3000 Couldn't agree more. Tigers have used Steward as a crash ball centre a few times this season. Why not for England? Thanks for watching and commenting. I hope this tribute has earned your subscription!

@@Tyson8887 Ireland is a tough place to play, no matter the age grade. He's an U20s World Cup winner. If that counts for anything, it will be his experience that shines through. Thanks for watching and commenting. I hope this tribute has earned your subscription!

@StanWilks definitely subscribe mate , keep profileing all the next generation young players. And yes having played for England aged grade in Ireland, I went out to play to show everyone in Ireland who I was . I hope they all smash it on Thursday night and in the future

@Tyson8887 Thank you so much, Tyson. Your support hasn't gone unnoticed. 🙏 Interesting that you played for England at age grade level. You must be quite passionate about the U20s pathway like myself!

@@BloodSport4All Didn't someone else absolutely obliterate him in the tackle recently? Kind of shows you that Hawkins isn't a natural, ball-carrying 12. 😂 Thanks for watching and commenting!

@@johnhanson5943 Plenty to work on, but who doesn't? 🤷 Thanks for watching and commenting. I hope this tribute has earned your subscription!

@@Old_One_Eye Thanks, OOE. Great to see you on UA-cam and Reddit. You've just provided, in my opinion, the best analysis of Steward's current game. You have to be blind to not see how much he's improved. People criticise him for being slow on the turn, but is that Steward's fault when he's left to defend an attack that should've never happened in the first place? Joe El-Abd has a lot to fix. Thanks for watching and commenting!

@scryllix9010 I think England in general just don't know how to tackle South Africans. They're our kryptonite. 😂 Hendy deserved a spot in the squad at the very least. He's in great form. And Carpenter should be given twenty minutes off the bench against Wales. I really like the look of him. Thanks for watching and commenting. I hope this tribute has earned your subscription!

@@LukeTheDuke117 Thanks, Luke. I agree. A very dependable player who I'd trust with catching a meteor. He's *that* good. 😂 Thanks for watching and commenting. I hope this tribute has earned your subscription!

@@Powerofmorris84 Well noticed. He's definitely leaner than he has been in previous seasons. That line-break against Harlequins is emblematic of his growth. Thanks for watching and commenting!

@@Antonym12198 Fair play. I can't remember who, but someone said that both Furbank and Steward have their USPs, and training with each other will help them compare notes. Think it will help them develop their individual talents and raise the standards between them. Thanks for watching and commenting, mate!

Great video as ever, he has been in great form for Leicester recently and deserves to be our starting fullback for Saturday, also can't wait to see Cadan Murley get his debut, difficult place to go but I have faith.

@tedstanford3121 Thank you, Ted. Talk about perfect timing to release this just before the team announcement. Would love to see Steward score the winning try. Murley deserves to be there. I would have preferred Sleightholme but I hear he's injured. Would love for England to pull off the unexpected, but I'd be happy with a LBP. Thanks for watching and commenting!

@@MisterPoppy-sc1sj J'adore! 😂

@James-o2u9x Contractually obligated. 😂 Ooh, I just had the mental image of Ted Hill charging down the 12 channel. Very scary! Thanks for watching and commenting!

Extreme Ways - Moby. Thanks for watching and commenting. I hope this tribute has earned your subscription!

@ on my rugby match on sunday ima imagine extreme ways playing in my head when i get the ball and i lock the hell in

@Tristand-j2q Love to hear it, mate. This is exactly why I use songs. Embrace your inner Henry Pollock!

@ wait. it actually worked

@@FocusWLN So true, mate. One can only hope that we'll develop that kind of squad depth for every position. Thanks for watching and commenting. I hope this tribute has earned your subscription!

Or he can come back and play for his country of birth

@jtotheceso Yeah, facts don't lie. Not our choice, though. Thanks for watching and commenting!

@@olendojohnevans5187 I bet that photo is worth its weight in gold now! Thanks for watching and commenting. I hope this tribute has earned your subscription!

@@gprugby I'd typically say let's bloody hope not, but that is a good point. Are players over-conditioned in the England camp, or is it simply from playing too much? Thanks for watching and commenting. I hope this tribute has earned your subscription!

@@StanWilks For me, Curry bulked up too much. He's 110kg for crying out loud! I think it puts too much stress on his joints and ligaments. If he lost 5kg, i think he'd be back to being the player he was three/four years ago.

@@thewomble1509 Begs the question as to whether players spend too much time in the gym. I certainly wouldn't want Pollock's athleticism trained out of him!

@ Yes, makes you wonder. The sheer physicality of the modern game is scary sometimes. A lot of players will be in bits by the time they hit the age of 40.

@@thewomble1509 They're amazing. All of them. I'm in bits after running up a hill. 😂

@@Pasta745 Thanks, mate. Really glad you enjoyed it. He could be a chip off the old Fisilau-shaped block!

@@PhysicsTom2004 Of course I can. He's Citizen Kane. 😉

@@bojo1 Indubitably. Once in a generation talent. Thanks for watching and commenting. I hope this tribute has earned your subscription!

@@philipreynolds4246 Couldn't agree more, Philip. He'd put in a shift wherever he's playing. 💥 Thanks for watching and commenting. Hope you're well!

@@adamsubtract81 VERY good analogy. 👍 Thanks for watching and commenting. I hope this tribute has earned your subscription!

@@lucaavitale21 Thank you, mate. Really appreciate your support. 👍 You'll be pleased to know I've actually covered Charlie twice. Click the link here (included in its description is the other link to his first tribute): ua-cam.com/video/73GaOadU6IA/v-deo.htmlsi=EoFsCJ60XvaLMsob Hope you enjoy! 🙏

@@glen9593 Thank you, Glen. If anyone's going to sign him and his twelve brothers, it's Bath. 😂 Wait a minute...are you a Bath fan?! Thanks for watching and commenting!

Yeah, they have quite a few of my favourite English players so I am a Bath fan.

@glen9593 Fair play, mate. Be kind to us when you visit Sandy Park, will you? Less than fifty? 😂

@@StanWilks 😂I don't know what's happening with your boys this season. May I ask what you think of trying Josh Hodge at fullback for England?

@glen9593 Blame it on constant selection changes, mate. Baxter is the new Eddie Jones. 😂 As much as I love Hodge (he's also a great bloke in real life), I think his defense needs work before being considered for England. In fact, I prefer him as a fly-half which I believe is his natural position. He seems far more comfortable there. What do you think?

@@happyspanners Both real prospects. No question about it. Might have to cover Sodeke in the future. 🤔 Thanks for watching and commenting, mate!

@@StanWilksdefinitely

@@billallen9054 Ditto! As a fellow Chiefs fan, I sadly feel we're the next Newcastle in how we struggle to retain top talent. Really worrying. Thanks for watching and commenting, mate. Hope you're well!

He’s getting unreal experience out the tho can only benefit England in the future 🤞🏻

@remyd1984 Very good point. If there were a time to play in the Top 14, in my opinion, it's as a youngster with nothing to lose and everything to gain. 💪

@@StanWilks he’s gain off all ex internationals players who are now coaching n internationals who he’s playing along side. He mentioned it in a new interview with the rugbypod

@@remyd1984 Yeah, that's a great interview. He's quite wise for such a young lad. Really hope he kicks on!

@@tomjoyce6365 Perhaps a little harsh considering how many tries he's scored from distance, not to mention the copious assists to his name. What I will concede, though, is that Bristol are not the same team without McGinty. Thanks for watching and commenting. I hope this tribute has earned your subscription!

@ What we are lacking for England is a punch option in midfield. We need it as a threat not just for gain line but to fix defenders and tie up the opposition back row. If we’re going to develop our phase play then we need to build phases from the set piece. I hate to mention it but we’re sorely missing Manu Tuilagi. Ollie Laurence can do it a bit but he’s the best 13 in England and it’s a sacrifice to play him at 12.

@tomjoyce6365 As I read your reply, all I could think about was Manu...and then you mentioned him. 👍 Truthfully, we're probably never going to replace him. There's a reason why he was straight back in the starting XV when fit. I genuinely can't think of anyone to fill that Tuilagi-sized hole!

@ All the top teams have a punch option to get them on the front foot. France had Danty, Ireland have Aki, SA have Damian de Allende (and Kriel). It’s also a defensive issue. We need a destructive bad boy. I think Cokanasiga could be re-trained in the mould of Sonny Bill

@@tomjoyce6365 Not a bad option. His carrying is very tasty. I've heard that he's not the most reliable under the high ball, so placing him at 12 could nullify that weakness.

@@SimonBaig He would definitely have earned his spot. Can't remember if he was announced as part of England's squad, but I'd love to see him play. Thanks for watching and commenting. I hope this tribute has earned your subscription!

@@StanWilks happy to subscribe to your channel. Slight word of advice/preference - I think your music needs to be a bit more punchy/action oriented... but that's just my POV!

@SimonBaig Thanks, Simon. Really appreciate you doing that and your advice hasn't gone unnoticed. 👍 I definitely threw a curveball with the choice of song for Ojomoh's tribute, but there are many other tributes on this channel featuring more rhythmic, punchy music!

He carries like one. 😂 Thanks for watching and commenting. I hope this tribute has earned your subscription!

@@paulaustin7940 He's definitely proving to be that, Paul. How long until he's eligible? 😂 Thanks for watching and commenting. I hope this tribute has earned your subscription!

@@happyspanners If England were suffering from a paucity of talent on the wings, I'd be on the phone to Ramm within a nano. But I do think we're okay for now. Besides, I'm sure Ramm would love to represent Australia. What do you think? Thanks for watching and commenting, mate!

@StanWilks Very true, we have some very good wingers at the moment. Sleightholme will maybe replace IFW. Amazing video as always Stan! Keep it up! Pretty much the only creator making any sort of video about Premiership talent!

@happyspanners It would make perfect sense for Sleightholme to be next in line. Roebuck is hardly a bad choice off the bench, either. Thank you for saying that, mate. I'm very passionate about English rugby in particular. My channel is probably emblematic of that. 😂

@@Rugbyrugbyrugbyrugby Thank you, mate. Love your username, by the way!

He is Australian, after all. 😂 Thanks for watching and commenting!

@@jamespritchard1330 Thanks, James! I think you'll see a few more Bath players appear for England in the Six Nations. Say what you will, but Borthers does pick players on form. I think Stuart could be a guaranteed starter. If you'd like to see more tributes of Bath players, I have a playlist here: ua-cam.com/play/PLRl-DepRqwftphgs9u-xvliSZQiHLJNQx.html&si=ms4qAZP9AYxh-dGc Thanks for watching and commenting. I hope this tribute has earned your subscription!

@@danielmacdonald721 I'd say a healthy dose of arrogance keeps you competitive at the highest level, but he's definitely putting a target on his back at such a young age. It's going to be very interesting to see how he copes with other players targeting him. Perhaps it will take the pressure off his team if opponents are focusing on him? If he can cope with cheap shots, suddenly his team has a penalty or two! 🤔 Thanks for watching and commenting. I hope this tribute has earned your subscription!

Neil Back was never going to make it, too small not strong enough! Why not Pollock?

@@TheTruth-x7s From his carrying alone, I think he has the potential to be international standard. But until that opportunity comes, he's still an unknown quantity. I'd love to see him given a crack against a Tier 2 nation. What do you think? Thanks for watching and commenting. I hope this tribute has earned your subscription!

@ I totally agree, his carrying ability is great, I think he just needs a bit more consistency. A few lower tier games as you say to ease him in. I’d like to see him start them as well to give him a fair crack at it. Some stiff competition in the back row department.

@@TheTruth-x7s Well said. Starting gives him the opportunity to grow into that international setting. I think if Borthwick utilized his carrying talents the way JVG has, Barbeary could be the next Billy V. But, as you said, there's no shortage of talent in the back row!

@@Pasta745 Thanks, mate. Hope it was worth the wait. I wouldn't want to see Barbeary charging down my channel!

@@zZToxicWoodyZz Not the first player to suffer from inconsistency, and certainly won't be the last. Guarantee you that he'll be in red hot form for the play-offs. The scrum cap is a weird look for him, isn't it?! 😂 Thanks for watching and commenting. I hope this tribute has earned your subscription!

Thanks, Glen! Interesting thoughts all around. He definitely deserves a shot in lieu of Dombrandt, who has never looked entirely comfortable to me on the international stage. Mercer is doubtless talented, but I think he signed his own death warrant by throwing his toys out the pram at not being selected. Steve probably doesn't want players who, presumably, might jeopardise the team. But that's just the hypotheticals on my part. We have so many options in the back row that, whoever Steve chooses, it will be a successful trio almost all of the time!

Yeah I don't think Mercer is getting picked by Borthwick, but I'd love to see it.

@glen9593 Ditto. Imagine him in a fictional JOUER XV. Play like the Harlem Globetrotters. It would be insane! 😂

Thanks, Antonym. Very glad to hear it. 👍 Murley is a great shout, but I think my friend Andrew Forde already made the definitive tribute of him: ua-cam.com/video/XIXoZXmoouk/v-deo.html Any other requests are most welcome, though! 🙏

Oh, Dad. Never change. 😂
