This is me showing my age, but never having really rated his dad makes it hard to evaluate him properly!

Same with young Dr Glanville!
I know what you mean (although I did rate Sleightholme Snr)- it's despicable being consistently reminded of my age by the youth groups being populated by 90s England - The Next Generation: Ojomoh, Grayson, Sleightholme, de Glanville.

Grayson, De Glanville, Sleighthome.

Pretty sure they formed part of an uninspiring England backline about 1997.

Just be thankful Matt Perry doesn't have a son.

I like Sleightholme too, but today was his first try of this century (albeit a very good one)! While he’s been injured, OHC has established himself as a key part of an improving London Irish side.

Maybe this decade, as in 2021, but he has certainly scored this century. Score on his first touch of the ball in the Prem in 2018. Has only been back from a long lay off for about 3 or 4 games

Reid has been very good. Someone who has a realistic chance of a spot on the summer tour i'd say.

I like Reid, but he’s unfortunate to be playing in an era where we have unbelievable competition for back row spots. He’s a good player, but I’d say his chances of a cap really depend upon Lions call-ups and injuries.
