[QUOTE="Which Tyler, post: 786626, member: 73592"] I can only think that you have a very short memory for these things. Cips was hyped at least as much as Slade, right up to his horrendous ankle injury. Ford was hyped more and earlier than Slade. You personally may not have done (no idea) but to claim the hype wasn't there can only be attributed to not following the back pages then, or memory failure. Our of interest - who's the only Englishman to have won the IRB's "junior player of the year" award - I'll give you a clue, it wasn't Slade (or Itoje). OOI, he was born in the same year as 2 subsequent winners (and is 3 days [B]younger [/B]than last year's messiah: Henry Slade); and is the youngest nominee (IIRC), let alone winner. [/QUOTE]
