[QUOTE="Leonormous Boozer, post: 983932, member: 45598"] I'm more or less certain its better having these lads at underage rather than not regardless if they play for England or not. They're a higher standard than next off the bus and it only helps the development of those around them. You see it in Ireland and Wales a bit where extremely talented age groups can bring guys not doing much underage up to the level (Van der Flier was stuck behind Dan Leavy for years despite being a year older) and mediocre age groups stunting development (Jack Kelly, current 7s player, hyped t'****, did nothing after a year in a terrible 20s side until he got picked up by the 7s). Anyway Test Lion Ben Te'o was totally developed by us, fair trade for two benchwarmers! ;) [/QUOTE]
