U20's 6 Nations

Starting squad v Australia see Cusick at 14 Woodward at 12 and Carnduff paired in the 2nd row with Chessum who skippers the side. FTT is on the bench

Has that been announced? Good to see our lads included. I have to say (and I am really not sure about this comparison...) but Woodward reminds me of Farrell a bit...

It was on the official instagram feed Harbs. I do get what you’re saying about Woodward for me very similar to Kelly, or for us oldies a Dodge

I dunno about the Farrell comparison, Woodward looks like he has good tackle technique to me. Needs to fill out a bit to bring the sort of physicality to the side that Kelly does. He's got a nice skillset and a good work rate in defence. Reminds me a bit of Ant Allen, seems to bring the backline together by doing the unflashy things well.

I was looking on the player stats Sam which I assume come from the beginning of last season and Woodward wasn’t that much smaller than Kelly. Having seen both him and Cusick on the telly I would say they have both bulked up some

Depending on which sources you take his weight from he's 5 to 8kgs lighter than Kelly. It's not masses but that extra muscle will just give him a bit more edge in contact. Partly age as well, he's still only 19 so he'll naturally fill out a touch over the next year or so anyway.

I've really liked what I've seen from Woodward for the under 20s and briefly in the Prem Cup. He looks so comfortable on the ball, pass off both hands, can kick but at the same time his work rate in defence is very good. You don't often see the more creative players making a tackle and getting back into position ready to make another the way he does. Good technique as well, goes low.

He's one I'd really hope we have pencilled in for plenty of Prem Cup game time. Cusick was very impressive for the under 20s, looks so composed under pressure.

Chandler Cunningham South is like a man possessed vs Aus so far

[Rugbygramps]

Woodward and Carnduff both heavily involved

Woodward just made that try.

He has fantastic hands

Australia 17-14 up at half time. They seemed to have the best of a swirling wind in the 1st half.

Baby Chessum obviously doesn’t take a backward step

I've noticed Lewis is very aggressive and is generally at the center of most fights, reminds me of Big Jim and Genge

England will take that. The wind seems pretty vicious.

I wonder if that’s why like Genge they made him skipper to dull the edge a little

He's definitely mellowed a bit like Genge since becoming captain but he definitely still likes to get stuck in, I think he'll have a long future in the 1st team

[Rugbygramps]

Agreed we have got some real gems there. I feel all 4 Tiger cubs have a good first team future

So Ireland have beaten Fiji by 20 points with a TBP, so I think England win with a TBP and they go through top of the pool no matter the points difference.

Win without a TBP and they go through as best runners up I think.

Lose and they are out.
