      i completely agree! !AS LONG AS! they dont get any serious injuries, they could both see 2 more world cups and i would love them to (mainly because they are so mature) ! but a nasty or ankle or knee injury can change the corse of rugby history in one reckless tackle sadly..

      Reuben Ramirez He’s had some terrible luck with injuries over the past few seasons but I think once he’s back fighting fit for a decent amount of time he’ll replace the likes of Wilson in the team..
      Who I am a big fan of so it’s no knock on Wilson at all

      @goo9398 4 ปีที่แล้ว

      Liverpool67890 I’m a quins fan. I don’t think Jack is nearly as good as Wilson. He had potential but I feel that due to injury he’ll never play as well as he could have.

    Kiwi here, and I _really_ rate this guy. Fantastic player. I'd never heard of him till he played against the ABs, and scored what should have been a brilliant try when he turned Barrett inside out. He was a colossus in that test, and was the best player on the field. All the best for the RWC.

      Another kiwi here, lawes was about an inch offside, brilliant try that should've been awarded.
      At the end of the day that try was underhills, and a fraction shouldn't have taken it, even if technically correct.

    After England's recent and persistent deficiency at the defensive breakdown, he must be seen as something of a hero over there. He's a GREAT openside flanker, both with and w/o the ball. Not too tall, stocky low center of gravity, head tucked into those sizable shoulders and an upper body like a greco-roman wrestler.

    The thing I like best about this guy is his completely dead pan expression as he smashes ball carriers to the deck, stands up and moves on to his next task, no smug grin, no smirk, just cold ruthless efficiency.
    They say that what Napoleons army found the most unsettling about facing the British army in a battle was their unnatural and sinister silence, just a disciplined and unfazed wall of redcoats waiting for them as they advanced singing ,shouting and cheering into musket range then..............Cold ruthless fatal efficiency as the automaton like red wall swung into action.
    This is what I see when Underhill plays.
