To be fair you see Underhill like this and you say who's in the England back row with him...
Been saying that for years.
Fair point Tigs makes about the way he plays and injuries, but still.

I genuinely believe he was the single biggest reason England declined so much post 2019, the momentum swings he gives you, that and before Curry was messed about and asked to play differently was such an effective combo. Still worry about his long term wellbeing with how often his head ends up taking significant impacts though.Been saying that for years.

Such a shame that time her turned Barrett inside out on one of his runs didn't result in the try standing.When I started reading this I though you were talking about Finn Russell due to the post above and then I realised I was an idiot
I agree in many ways, what underhill offered was a genuine world class flanker who offered that momentum stopping power on top of top draw rugby skills. I think he's an underrated ball carrier as well.
So this turned out to be very wrong, think we just need to tell the players we actually kickoff 20mins early because we've started the last two games terribly but then grown into them hugelyChrist we look bad, might be a repeat of the Exeter game
