These two will be representing English rugby in the semi-finals of the Champions Cup next weekend. If this is anything to go by, they will not just do their country proud, they will astonish.
It almost goes without saying in the Premiership nowadays, certainly when considering either of these two, that this was extraordinary rugby. Where to start? Ten tries, 73 points, bonus points all round and a contest that seesawed with the wind. Right up to the end. The speed and precision with which these two ran free across Twickenham’s wide open spaces until the final whistle was breathtaking. And that was just to watch.
