That's why you shouldn't get over excited by youngsters and certainly don't label them as future greats it's fatal.

The test of the player will be how he comes back from the initial hype and really makes his name. For example I remember Shaun Edwards bursting on the scene then treading water for a while before bursting back and fullfilling his early potential. Sadly I can name countless young players who never bounced back and sank into oblivion or NL1/2 as it's sometimes known.

Don't think this will happen to Westerman, if nothing else his size will ensure him a future of sorts. That said I hope that he kicks on skill and determination wise and becomes a true star.

Ah the mark of a good troll. Make your baiting look like you were being positive or complimentary. A for effort.

The other England Centre

To be honest I don't think theres anything between them, they both know where the try line is and (apart from Millenium weekend when both were poor) are both solid defenders who can read the game well and put some good shots on. Should be good to see them pairing up together.

Your predicatability is matched only by your ignorance.
