needs to improve his left to right passing apart from that top draw.

Wasn't Houghton his understudy??

Houghton was a bit after wasn't he? About 2008 he came through.

Should be in the England squad, him and Lunt have been the outstanding hookers this season, although I think Lunt and Burrow will be the two for the Exiles game.

Think they just missed each other at first team level, Houghton emerged in Swain's last year, which was curtailed by injury. Think Swain spent time at our 20s and used to be quite good with the younger players though, I saw him at games quite a few times.

I've always rated Houghton, really smart player. Has had some ups and downs in form, but looks the business at the moment.

Should be in the England squad ahead of Burrow, second only to Roby for me.

Well done on the win tonight, fully deserved, although beware our quest for 5th has begun again....

shannon was immaculate,outplayed the outstanding hardaker and pushed danny h all the way for MOM.
