Reminds me a bit of Van der Merwe in that sense, where being so good at running means it often doesn't matter (in the moment) that you didn't spot the easy pass.

If it's anything like when George North appeared on the scene we'll hear it referenced every 3 minutes throughout the 6 nations.

Yup! I notice Ugo has now appeared on the beeb, which is....unfortunate. On the upside, no Guscott.....but still Andy Nicol (plus Johnno, Warburton and others). ITV have the upside of Flatman, the downside of dayglo (plus Jonny, SCW, BOD and others)

"Freddie Steward, who at 6ft5 is tall for a full-back..."

That one appears to have fallen out of favour now, but when he started it was mentioned more regularly than a magic pun when Harry Potter touches the ball.

I did see an interview he did a while back where he said he was worried that if he kept dominating in the air then Borthwick might push him into the lineout.

Has Geech stolen his grandson’s coat or is he off to Infernos later?

Sinckler's doing something weird at the scrums. Looking like he's not putting his whole weight in or attacking hard. Can't figure it out.

We're not looking particularly fluent, but we're at least looking eager to play some rugby. Pleased so far.
