He played for England up to the under 20’s, he clearly has class and pedigree.

What he has over Townsend is intelligence.

His run from full back for the Asante goal was great movement and awareness and he actually told Johnson to pass to him and got behind their defence.

He also showed he has pace as well.

I think he’s like Brunt, an easy whipping boy for some reason.
“What he has over Townsend is intelligence”.
In a nutshell Mick. That was also TGH’s problem too. The pair of them together would struggle to make an amoeba.
