Anthony Watson of Bath anyone?

[St George]

Just seen that England have called up this young tyro to train with the senior squad:

I saw him via youtube awhile back and was wondering how he is doing for Bath? Is he still a FB or does he play in Centre and Wings as well?

Looks to have a wicked sidestep off either foot, and a slippery gangly body angle to boot.


Edit: I see he does play wing as well: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iWx416uYz-A
If he can defend....bye bye Ashton

He's played solely at full back for Bath thus far - that may, or may not change now that Nick Abendanon is fit again.

I thought he'd take a while to adapt to the standard of the premiership but he's taken to it like a duck to water.
Solid in all the fundamentals - Good under the high ball, good hands and good defence.
His feet are phenomenal and he looks to have matured physically already.

Cheers Rats, oooh im getting excited.... always hoping a new Billy Wiz will come along. Could be great timing for the WC.

Sorry guys....getting carried away.
