@Bones Ollie Lawrence has had a decent game
So has Chessum.
Itoje pretty anonymous. Can't work out if he was engine-room mode or just, well, anonymous.
You sure you weren't watching a recording of last week's game? Itoje played well and came up with one or two really big plays.
Nothing wrong with being anonymous if you're in the tight 5 - means you're doing the hard yakka. Thought it was a pretty uncharacteristic game for him though.
Aah! I take your point. Not as gobby as before. I did pose the question on here during the Autumn series that Itoje is not the whooping, hollering dickhead for Sarries that he is for England and whether that was an Eddie stratagem. Maybe Borthwick doesn't go for the same mind games?
Eddie has openly admitted that he encouraged it. Itoje did buy into it though and it only built on what he was doing anyway.
Let’s hope this is a sign that he’s grown up.
