[QUOTE="Thingimubob, post: 865687, member: 20956"] Seen a few of these predictions pop up and surprisingly few have mentioned Mercer? Watched a fair bit of him for the u20's this year, and he's just looked a cut above everyone around him. His performances for Quins have impressed me as well, as you sometimes see players who dominate at u20s struggle to break through when they play senior rugby, but's he's looked very good so far and definitely has a bright future (unfortunately for us ;)) He'll be 23 come SA 2022 (I think), and can see him being established in the England set up by then if he keeps up his performances over the next few seasons, so definitely a shout. These articles are always funny, I think WalesOnline (yeah I struggle to take them seriously too) predicted in 2013 that James Down would be a test Lion on this NZ tour... That totally worked out. Few interesting selections from the Telegraph there though... Lots of players there who have the potential to be in the mix in 4 years time, in particular the likes of Mercer, Carbery, S Evans, T Williams, Price etc., just depends if they're able to build on the season they've just had.
