How did Burt Jnr get on?
Puja
Bit of a mix. Some really nice touches. Covered 10 when Farrell saw yellow. Also some poor execution at times.
I don't understand that signing outside nepotism. Why was Faz yellow carded....let me guess..
Failing to roll away from the tackle a metre out. I presume Racing were on a warning. Did look like was held in a bit but instead of fighting to get out and show the ref he seemed to be fighting the guy holding him in.

Worth noting that the French press are saying high tackle

He was very highly rated at age groups, so it's entirely possible he's training the house down and has earned his place. Can't imagine Lorenzetti or any of his teammates would be giving him a free pass if it was just nepotism.

A high tackle is far more Farrell. I was only going on a quick watch of the highlights so must have missed that. He definitely gave away an advantage for not rolling away close to the line so I assumed it was that.

I said signing, rather than selection. He's 23, only been a journeyman champ player, yet his dad says...lets sign this guy.

Ah, fair enough - misread you. Can't imagine he's on more than three pennies and a button for his contract mind, so probably deemed a worthwhile gamble by the bigwigs.

I wouldn't be so sure- one of our loanees went from Baaath to a French league 3 side for near on 6 figures. But I spose buttons in the scheme of things. Anyhoo....bit smelly tbh

To be fair the issue with Lancaster Jnr was that he wasn't particularly dynamic as a flyhalf. If you're going down the Farrell model at 10, does that really matter?

Good player, deserves his payday. Was doing well last season from what I read.
