Will Evans

Seems Eddie is keeping an eye on him.

"If Richard Cockerill thinks you’re ready for Premiership rugby, not to mention the fact Eddie Jones is asking for video of this young man’s practice sessions, you are certainly capable of making an impact in U20 rugby."

Is Will injured? He wasn't on the team sheet for the Italy game? Must be a boost to have EJ ask for vids

With respect to Italy, if you're trying to spread things around for three matches over nine days, which fixture would you rest Will for?

Isn't there something in the rules about having to play the entire squad? Certainly in prior years there's been a lot of rotation. The England captain was on the bench vs Italy as well.

Great result from England U20's beating Scotland 44 - Nil.

Note that Argentina 19 South Africa 13 too, this competition is finding talent for all Countries.

And Ireland beating the Kiwis too!

Great to watch Evans but I have got it into my head he looks a bit like comedian Mark Heap.... https://acrossthepondtv.files.wordpress ... _brian.jpg

Watched the game on youtube - brilliant performance. I reckon this side could now be one of the favourites to make the final?

Another Bright spark for the future let's hope that he doesn't get frustrated by lack of opportunity at first team level with the Tigers and decamps elsewhere?

[mol2]

it would seem that England don' prioritise the under 20 6N and let their premiership players rightly remain with their clubs where they get experience of top level rugby, crtainly higher than under 20 international level.

Having the likes of Mallinder and Evans in the side certainly brought Scotland's ambitions down to earth.

Both of those look light real prospects (even if one of them has the misfortune to play at the unmentionables)

[RagingBull]

Starting again v Aus tonight

Well, he's already had a couple of starts
