Quote: mat "thought you'd said neither was performing at a level that suggested they should be in 1st team but must be mixing you up with someone else. does southernwood look likely to feature in st team next year? seems to have dropped off radar a bit under potter, but if hes coming on well would help explain why we keep signing standoffs and overlooking scrum half.'"
I was certainly one who said that Cain wasn't, I think the expression I used was, "pulling up any trees", in the U20s. Truth is he hasn't been; he's been OK but not outstanding and certainly not putting in the kind of performances which scream "pick [ime[/i" at the coach.
It's true to say I said the same about Tom Burgess too,(cos he wasn't either, in all honesty) and he's been galvanised by the challenge, so who's to say Cain won't be the same?
