2nd rows are all about partnerships, Itoje & Rettallick are wonderful players but the bloke next to them makes their job easier to do the flashier stuff.Dokie wrote: ↑Sat Feb 06, 2021 2:25 pmGive him his due, he's been a great workhorse for club and country.

I'd put him in the next group, vying with Hill, Ball, Beirne and Henderson.

Re: 6 NATIONS 2021
does by chance, England's starting tighthead play for Wasps? Dayglo blaming Genge for a penalty when the 3 folded in on himself on the other side of it
