Its down to the player and not the position when it comes to scooting and clearing the line.

Raynor does this well due to his elusiveness. Briscoe due to his strength and balance.

Calderwood and Yeaman I don't feel do it well and I can't help but feel like it being a wasted tackle with better options available.

Its a big ask for a centre to chase back to get into position for a scoot on the back of a kick return. Its far easier for a winger to come in and do the work as they have already dropped back.

Don't know if it was the same incident but Richard Horne got done by Mogg, West Stand side

Nah i'm on about the end when Mogg scored. No shame in it like, Mogg's a great player but it was a tad easy.

Tom Briscoe is the best Three quarter prospect we have had in this country for a long time.

I wonder if boots and all give him as much coverage as they did Penny (who is rubbish) a few years ago

I'd rather they didnt. I would hope Agar adopts and Alex Ferguson approach and keeps the young kids away from the media hype.

I hope Eddie doesn't say `young` Tom Briscoe every time he mentions him in commentary on Friday night like he did with Sam Tomkins last weekend. Really grinds my gears.

He won't - he's too enamoured with Callum Watkins!

No. Just at the exact point he says "young"
