    I really think Gengey can become a cult hero in English rugby. What a fantastic example of rugby being used to elevate a young man's life, and the untapped potential outside the typical private school system.
    He's made mistakes growing up, but his development has been clear to see at Leicester. Comes across as refreshingly genuine in interviews. Very open about his Dyspraxia, and runs his own coaching clinics for kids.

    I don't think it's any coincidence that the likes of Ellis Genge, Kyle Sinckler and Joe Marler are some of the biggest personalities in the England side and that none of them went to public school

    He’s obviously a unit and that brings with it, a certain level of baggage so it’s not surprising that he had a few fights. His parents must have done a good job because he comes across as humble and a great guy. I love it when he mixes things up.

    The sport ,Yep rugby has all ways been about the game and no one man is bigger than it or in how you behave, rules get broken yes and so what that is why they are made, Ellis is a credit to the game in showing that he has adapted to those rules successfully and excelled in his play representing England, we are proud to have him and watch him.

      There's no mystery to beating SA, they're nothing special IMO. England have beaten them plenty of times. If SA had had the knockout stage matches England had at Japan 2020 they'd have never gotten to the final.
      England were sh*t in the final - it was just one of those games. SA were well worth their win on that occasion.

    Gotta give Eddie Jones some credit here! It's clear to me that Eddie knows his players well, and has enabled players like Genge and Sinckler to be themselves and not be something they are not.
    Imagine if Lancaster was still coach I doubt he would give these lads a chance!

    Steve, hello, just to let you know that I'm here, available, and keenly willing to play for you. A big wing as a youngster, then a back row, so I'm very flexible and don't mind where you play me. Lot's of managerial experience, able to delegte, and have a soft way with referees.
    OK, I may now be 76, but I'm quite prepared to lie about my age and knock a few years off if it would help.
    Good luck to you, but somehow - I don't think that you will need it.
