Beware England 2027

As Ireland fade...England have found Smith and Pollock.

...and Itoje looks more and more like Eben with every outing.

I always ten to look at teams from the perspective of who there best representation is within particular categories.

Itjoe - for the tight 5

Pollock - for the loosies

Smith - for the backs

All I am saying is, nobody should be underestimating England over the next few years because they are on the rise.

Must say, if you didn't know his nationality, one would swear Pollock is a Saffa. The way he plays is very reminiscent of a Pretoria dog that only cares about rugby and making things happen when he plays rugby. I love seeing kids like this hit the scene.

Pollock won the Breakthrough Player Award at this years Rugby Awards.

Freeman won Player of the Year.

Our Boys cant wait to tackle the snot out of Pollock:) Sorry Becs but he acts like a snotty brat ….all the success gone straight to the head:)

Oh no, it’s not the success that has made him behave that way. He’s always been the same !

He’s a good player. I’m glad we have him.

Good player indeed….pity we don’t play you guys this year:(

No, it is a shame we’re not playing this season.

Itoje remains Itoje - not even close to Eben

Little Pollock will fade after season 2

Fin Smith is good, nothing special at all

Pollock will get his arse kicked in Aussie

At 100kg he is not going to rip test rugby to threads as a forward, especially once they have his number

I'm talking about Marcus Smith

...and Itoje is becoming a very good player.

Saffolk, your rubbish takes are laughable.

...and let's see how Pollock does, unless of course you have some reliable fortune telling machine that I'm unaware of.

Marcus Smith can’t make the England side

."and Itoje is becoming a very good player"

Itoje has played against SA teams for years now and at 30 he is no better than he was at 24 in the 2019 RWC. He normally perform on the same level as he did in the whole period he was playig on test level.

The player I think was top class in 2019 was Tom Curry and I still rate him as the best Englsih flanker in years, - but he apparently is not rated as high by the English selectors.
