U20 6 Nations 2017- Stars of the Future: If there's grass on the pitch play ball

[Ragey Erasmus]

The Curry brothers look like hot prospects. Also England only win U20's because they are much bigger and just bash their way through with no skill #TriggeredCelts

Zach Mercer has been good enough to completely ruin this tournament for everyone else. I hope he's pleased with himself.

Yeh it's a strange thing to say but he's actually far too good for this level .....

The Wales/Ireland game tonight was a cracker won by the home side by 41-27.

Didn't pay too much attention to the Welsh players but one stood out a mile as the best player on the pitch. Kieran Williams was sensational.

For Ireland, Jordan Larmour and Caelan Doris were fantastic. Charlie Connolly has come from nowhere to impress at tighthead too. It's maybe not Ireland's most talented team at this level but you could still pluck 8-10 players who'll go on to have good careers.

Yeah it was an enjoyable game. I both teams were willing to throw the ball around. The team is coming together nicely ahead of the U20 world cup though they need to stop leaking so many tries.

I'd still take him to the JRWC rather than Argentina though.
A] We'll be up against different teams, and he may just make the difference against NZ/SA.
B] He's got plenty of time, and there's no rush. With 12 years at the top ahead of him, we can afford to give him an extra few months to realise his potential.
C] With Hughes, Morgan and Beaumont around; he's unlikely to be actually doing anything more than holding tackle bags if he goes to Argentina; it's not like England need to rush him in to fill a vacancy
D] I think he'd get more out of having a leadership role at age-grade, than being a tackle-bag holder for the big boys.
E] He can always do that role in November - which also gives him a chance to suffer/avoid Second Season Syndrome before being capped.

Wouldn't mind seeing Chisholm in Argentina for the squad role.

As said I rather we put out a really strong U20 if not just to show the SH our depth (sounding a bit arrogant here I guess).

 

[ratsapprentice]

I'd rather take Fearns to Argentina.

I'd rather take Fearns to Argentina.

I keep forgetting he is back in England next season.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Fearns is the ideal bench forward, as he has a lot of experience in all three positions.
I also love him and he's brilliant. If he was brought straight into the EPS I'd wee

Yep, was outstanding on the tour to SA a few years ago, and was never rewarded for it.

 

[Maverick1987]

Where's he moving to ?

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Gloucester, so look for his form to die a death and him never cement a spot in the England squad

Haha yeh . Sounds familiar .... remember that name, Twelvetrees ?!?

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Matt.....Ceviche? Something like that

 

[ratsapprentice]

Once of the reasons I'm looking forward to the Argentina tour is to hear what the local commentators call our players.

Binny Bunipona and Matt Ceviche were the pick of the bunch last time.

Good job Joe Cokanasiga is playing u20s ! Imagine what that could have been . Although I imagine Beaumont is gonna be quite tricky for them

When at school with his little brother we used to call him "Cock-in-a-seagull." Wouldn't try it with Joe though.

In all srsniss..... it's "Thock-a-na-sing-a" as far as I can tell.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

All you can eat Curry

 

[ratsapprentice]

Don't recall Walker playing before... might have been brought in to throw the ball somewhere approaching the jumper's hands.

England going for three slams and our misfiring mens side are the only ones capable of stopping one... Christ I'm envious of your system!
