You don’t get many English wingers like him. Physically, he has size, strength and a good pair of hands on him as well. With his skills-set and he’s such a young guy – I said it during the week; he’s got the world at his feet really. He’s going to keep getting better so we’re lucky to have him"

He toured Argentina with England seniors in the summer of 2017, but had to wait until November 2018 for his international debut making an immediate impact and scoring tries against Japan and Australia.
