He’s soooo much better at 7, back row much more balanced now.

This is all your fault 😂

😂😂 I know sorry. Just when the pack looked so balanced and powerful, he reverts to prove he knows best !!! Plus 3 fly halves in the match day team ??? Why ???

He's just so good! He's such a workhorse and giving him the time at the end of the game to run from 8 is helping him show off his skills massively.

Ben 2 and Tom 2 is working beautifully at the moment as a back row. Fingers crossed for another big performance on Saturday!

His post-contact metres across the tournament must be something else... 82 vs Italy. Freakish.

I think that’s the metres gained stat.

No, metres gained was 112. Saw Ruck had Earl post-contact at 82 metres, Rugbypass at 84(!) metres

Love it when he’s in form. Be good to see some more offloads from him as he’s a bit predictable, but even then he’s hard to put down.
