WARBURTON SAID: “I know he didn’t play any of the Six Nations, but when he’s fit he punishes people. I think from a defensive point of view, him being missing is the major reason why England haven’t ticked in defence. He’s their one player that flies off the line and batters people from minute one to 80.”
