[QUOTE="Not Eddie Jones, post: 983222, member: 81025"] Key line about the truth of this is right at the bottom of the WOL article: [I]It is reported England's approach to Rees-Zammit [B]came before his recent try-scoring exploits[/B], which will doubtless put him even more strongly on their radar.[/I] [I][/I] So basically England doing due dilligence over every player who is English qualified (or could be soon) to see what their thoughts are about playing for England, before anyone even knew his name. Hell, they could have approached him two years ago when he started at Hartpury College. It's probably standard practice at Hartpury to check who their new intake want to play for internationally. Now that the bloke is actually scoring tries, WOL state that England will "doubtless" have him "more strongly on their radar". There's no actual evidence for that, but it's a fact! :D Also, this is second-hand from The Rugby Paper, which isn't far off WOL's level sometimes.
