Is he smaller than Thacker
Not that small it’s more his build he looks a bit slight for a hooker at this stage to me
Montoya isn't exactly a monster, neither is Dane Coles....
To win is not as important as playing with style!

doesn't need to bulk up massively just maybe another 10-15kg, its his shoulders that make him look small for a for me, obviously its hard to tell full without seeing him in the first team next to the likes of Genge

My guess is that Montoya is about 17 stone which isn’t small

JvP captain again, Ilione starts but Vanes dropped.
Used to run around with an 11, 14 or 15 on my back.

I suppose if they’ve got three hookers to look at, dropping the starter from the first match is logical.

Great read on Ilione and JVP
Sigh paywall.

Looks a very good England team. The half back options are ridiculous for this level with JVP/Quirke and Smith/Atkinson. Pack looks pretty physical and mobile and Haffar on the bench is supposed to be an absolute juggernaut.

Try for JvP. Sadly looks like a dislocated shoulder for Ilione.

Looks like a nasty one for Ilione, I'd say dislocation.
