Nice to see him playing was always a shame the injuries he had.

Umaga has looked rather handy. Makes me wonder if wasps requested that he wasn't involved in the u20s 6n.

Umaga was first class. So too the starting props. Taylor had a lively and effective 50 minutes. But Willis was head and shoulders above everyone else.

Simmons was Tigers best player.

S/F line-up:
Chiefs v Falcons
Baff v Saints
2nd w/e in March, dates & times tbc.

Other news..Thomas the Tank is chuffing back to NZ at the end of the season. 50 tries in 92 appearances is some return for a forward in his 30's.

I watched the AW highlights last night and Arno Botha looks like he put in a really strong performance for London Irish. IIRC he was an age grade captain for SA but has had near career ending injuries (to the extent that Ulster pulled out of signing him last season). His signing’s not going to save their season, but for someone who flew in under the radar, I reckon he could prove to be an astute signing.

Lovely cross-field kick from TBC for Lewington’s try too.

Just watching the Wasps v Leics match, can't believe how Willis just keeps getting better and better and better. This lad's a superstar in the making. The power the lad has is extraordinary.

Agreed, very impressive. His brother is supposed to be a great prospect too.

Some serious backrow talent coming through for England at the moment.

If he can’t stay fit I expect him to leave end of season. Trouble is he never seems to have a season without a big injury.
