    Everyone seems to forget how surprised people were he was even included in the wider squad. Now he's absolutely nailed on to get game time off the bench and pushing for a starting spot. Really great selection by SB and super excited to watch his development.

    Such a likeable guy and he's going to be a future starting 15 for England for many many years. Imagine him in his prime years in another 3 years or so... monster.

    RugbyPod programmers, it would be great to see some profiles of the other England under 20s players who are coming into the Prem and here what they have to say about getting game time. The contribution that C C-S and I F-W have na=made this years obvious ... but they were (maybe?) higher profile players un their U20 year. What happened to Olive Chessum's bigger brother? hopefully they don't all f-o across La Manche to France. The RFU should be focused on development contracts with Prem teams for the stand-out talents from the recent U20 graduates.

  • @gidug2250
    @gidug2250 9 місяців тому +2

    I think he’s the answer for 6 long term. Earl is undroppable at the minute after his 6 nations. But Tom curry will be back fit soon, still only 25. Underhill looking back to his best after some injuries, Mercer deserves some game time at 8. I like Hill for bath as well….could go on about another 6 players not mentioned. Great for us to have so many good backrows, exciting times

    • @joeboonmusic4004
      @joeboonmusic4004 9 місяців тому +3

      Exciting indeed, can't think of another country (maybe SA) that have so many insane back-rowers. I forget that Curry is so damn young, feels like he's been around for so long. Underhill is definitely back to his best and boy I love seeing him hit for 80 minutes. At the moment I think our best back row is CCS, Underhill, Earl... but who knows how that could look in a year or so.

    Now, here is a thought. Why doesn't rugby (in this case the Prem clubs or RFU) introduce a player pathway as in the NFL? It would be an opportunity for late starters to the game or for some who never had an opportunity to play the game earlier.

  • @iluvmusicqwe
    @iluvmusicqwe 9 місяців тому +1

    He's big but I don't think he has raw aggression. He doesn't play to his size. Instead of a "monster" I think he would be better suited to play like a Charles Olivon roamer, he seems to have pace, hands and work rate, he's not a destructive player.

    • @joeboonmusic4004

      Martin is England's monster, tbh. He just obliterates everything he sees! CCS is very young, too. He can learn to use that size more.
