[2017 Six Nations] - England

Underhill is a freak - fairly close to the perfect athlete for a flanker.

I've been working recently all the time and I missed the Saracens game last night, I saw Fraser got a try did anyone see if he played well? Always liked him but the injuries just pile up so he'll never probably play for England.
 
At what point does he become England based? As soon as his club season ends?
Barbarians game is on May 28th, Pro12 final is 27th, so should we be crossing our fingers that the Ospreys don't make it?

With Haskell likely on the Lions tour and Wood/Harrison not up to standard he could well get capped in Argentina.
 
To think a possible back row of Robshaw, Underhill and Billy V with Haskell to come off the bench... That's a pretty good mix of firepower and workrate and it almost seems a shame to have Hask as a bench player... Maybe Underhill off the bench? I think we may see Underhill in the Argentina tour, in fact I look forward to seeing what Jones has in mind for the future when our core players are with the Lions. The Argie tour was where JJ and Billy V first got in the spotlight along with Yarde (who has since regressed).
 
Wouldn't be surprised to see Haskell moved to 6, if Underhill makes an impression at 7.

I think he's actually technically available now! If he's not already, then he's definitely ok from the end of the season.

He will almost certainly go to Argentina.
 
As someone who hasn't watched much of him, do people think that Underhill is ready for Test Match Rugby right now or does he still need time?
