Nice, mate, I'm glad you've got round to Sam. This kid's got huge potential, and I'd love Borthwick to fast-track him into the England squad. If he starts getting some international experience soon he could be great by the world cup.

@@glen9593 Thanks, Glen. Another great request from you, as always. I think I'm all caught up now. 😂 As for Sam, if he persists in starting at hooker it won't be long before he starts vying for England's third choice behind (presumably first) LCD and (surprisingly now second) Theo Dan. I don't know if I've asked already, mate, but who do you support? I can't put my finger on who it might be. 😂

It's an indisputable point, HS. Rugby Analyst made a video about potential England players and said the same about Oghre.

Really good points here. If his maturity was ever in doubt, skip to 02:11 and see his reaction to the French player shoving a shoulder in as he scores.
