I would say they are underated! When you consider (probably) neither of these will be considered for England come the end of the season, yet we will still be passing around names like Peter Fox, Lee Smith and Paul Wellens for the backs and Danny Tickle, Jamie Jones-Buchannan and dare I say it Gareth Hock for the forwards. For me, these guys have had the chance to nail down a jersey and failed. Lets get these younger players into the team environment at a national level and give them a fighting chance of gelling partnerships ala Queensland (Slater, Lockyer, Thuston, Smith) and stick with it, show a little faith in the longterm development.
