Earl is very good at the breakdown too don’t forget
He's good but the Curry twins and Willis are all much better. Earl is nearly up there with T Curry in regards to all round game but B Curry and Willis are both better defensively. Horses for courses selection
Much better? Really?! Not for me,crazy statement imo and from an official Earl and Sarries hater too lol. He's better than Tom all round imo, carries better, as good at the breakdown and links play far better. He would have been a far better option coming off the bench than Tom who imo is a starter or nothing.
In attack I agree but in defence give me Ben Curry every time. Particularly on the form he was showing December and January time for Sale. Ben is absolute pest.

Ben Curry looks a bit underpowered to me. Club and international is a big gulf.

Not been good as he? And he was the original Curry too,Tom only got a look in because Ben got injured. I’m not convinced as of yet
