However, with him not even getting a start tomorrow it hasn’t started well on that front!

Interesting Itoje is name skipper over the likes of Brown, Hamilton etc. that are also starting. He has a huge future ahead of him.

Quite abrasive (as all good scrum halves should be), and a real nuisance at the oppositions scrum time. You’re right he’s not much of a sniper, but when he goes he has good pace and is a good ball carrier. I would think he will be playing second fiddle to Wiggy for most of this season with De Kock being called on sparingly.

I’m quite surprised to see that he’s not starting tomorrow. De Kock is starting who has looked really slow in the warm up matches. I expect to see Spencer come on and pick up the pace second half.

However, surprised to say you think he is quick different to Wrigglesworth?

He looked to me to be a mold of him. Good kicking and game management 9 but not exactly the kind to snipe that often. Is that not the case then?

He’s quite big for a scrum half, but has plenty of pace and is quite different from both Wiggy and De Kock. He had a good season in Itoje’s A team last season, and with De Kock getting older and slower he should get plenty more game time.

Why wasn’t Brad mentioned as a Saracens star?
