“Not personal” – Sir Clive Woodward bites back at Ben Earl after criticising forward

Gregory Alldritt vs Ben Earl

He wrote: “I’ve been critical of Earl for celebrating England winning penalties and for hitting back at the press after the Ireland win. But that’s nothing personal because I think he’s a fabulous player. He seems to have made the No 8 shirt his own and has the sort of pace at the back of the scrum England need to play quickly. Alldritt had a long time off after the World Cup but will still be a big test for Earl.”
