Chandler Ding

I like this guy. He's doing the stuff I was hoping to see Ruan Venter do.

He was dropped into an away series against New Zealand after only a handful of caps and, despite England losing out, he had a very solid showing.

During that NZ series, I said i liked him, and he's been on an upward trajectory with more people talking about him now...including Matfield who said something to the effect of "He waaz veri good, vat guy wif va long name."

Can't wait to see him an Batho get into it five years from now.

He should’ve been MOM last week to be honest.

Good player.

Calling him a "Ding" is contradictory to actually liking him…not very nice of you Plum:)

I’m sure he wouldn’t say it to his face, Mpower ;)

;)

Borthwick stupidly left him out during the 6N if memory serves me correctly

He dings people, M. It's a compliment...in rugby.

Which is different to a Chandler that bings people.

He’s definitely improved of late. Sadly, because Chessum is injured, he’s on the bench covering Lock this week.

He's an absolute savage, Becs.

My type of player.

You guys really need two or three more lads of this quality to come through at the same time.

I’m hopeful he’ll crack on and improve his all round game.

We need an 8 as Tom Willis is going to France and can’t be selected. He was coming along nicely but the lure of France called him away :(

England are so fucking stupid for not selecting overseas based players - same applies to the stupid Kiwi’s

Jack and Tom Willis... for me the best two back rowers in the Northern Hemisphere and cracking guys in person as well.

Such a shame Wasps went under. They were my Premiership side from before I even moved to the UK so when they moved to Coventry I was over the moon.

Xavi where are you in England?

I didn’t realise you were one of us now, Xavi :)
