Bristol Bears’ headline signing ahead of the 2022/23 season, star loosehead prop Ellis Genge, has been at the centre of the pre-match war of words this week ahead of England’s must win second Test against the Wallabies.
England were beaten 30-28 in the opening game of the series despite playing more than half the game with an additional player after lock Darcy Swain was red carded for a head butt, meaning the series is up for grabs at the Suncorp Stadium on Saturday.
The Wallabies will be bolstered by the return of Taniela Tupou, dubbed the ‘Tongan Thor’, and the bulldozing 21 stones 4lbs tighthead prop has his eyes firmly on ‘smashing’ one of England’s emotional leaders and dynamic frontrow ball carrier Genge, who himself has coined the nickname ‘The Baby Rhino.’
