[QUOTE="Leonormous Boozer, post: 1117955, member: 45598"] Hmmm, I think that's a coaching and player fault if true. Ireland amd Wales have developed leaders in the presence of AWJ and Sexton. Familiarity helps and I think guys like Ringrose and Keenan benefit from being in Leinster as they're not natural leaders by my estimation. But there's guys in that England squad who have been there long enough to step up onto the role. Itoje looks less of a presence now than he did at 21, Genge isn't the same voice he is at club level and in a relatively inexperienced backline Smith or Steward should have stepped up. If Borthwick is cut out for the role he'll develop this but it looks like another failing of EJ's team to me. [/QUOTE]
