      To be fair his injuries while there's been a few aren't the main issue, I think the amount of concussions he has received is more of an issue, forwards get hurt all the time it's part and parcel of the role but after 2019 he picked up more than his fair share of concussions, that said it's great to see him back in an England shirt.
      Whatever happens in the future one of my best memories of 2019 was the semi against the AB's and his performance.

    I remember watching the Eng vs Wal game live thinking that was great try. Then like something out of a cartoon, Underhill performs the single greatest tackle I have ever seen in my life. Behind the man, whilst sliding, he uses the strength of ONE ARM to turn a 110kg man, and take him into touch. Superman truly does live amongst us!!!
