England powerhouse Ollie Lawrence could quit Bath for Premiership rival

Having played for England at U18 and U20 levels, he was first called up to the senior squad in 2018 ahead of the summer tour to South Africa. A line-breaking midfielder, Lawrence was called up again by Eddie Jones ahead of the autumn games in 2020.

Recently, Lawrence played a key role in England’s Rugby World Cup campaign in France before retaining his position in the squad ahead of the Guinness Men’s Six Nations 2024.

Rugby Pass have reported today that the Quins are keen on recruiting the 'cannonball-like England centre as a direct replacement for Andre Esterhuizen.

Despite being tied down for another season, the formidable South African international continues to draw the attention of numerous clubs.

Word has it that he’s turned down advances from French heavyweights Toulon and is now topping the wish lists of various Japanese outfits.

According to Afrikaans outlet Rapport, the Sharks are eager to bring Esterhuizen back to Durban, but they face a substantial fee of £500,000 to secure his services from Harlequins.

Despite the financial hurdle, insiders suggest optimism within the Sharks' management about persuading Lawrence to return to his roots in South Africa.

This would be the latest departure for Harlequins after Louis Lynagh confirmed yesterday that he will be departing the club.

Telegraph 5/10: "The try covered a multitude of sins - from George North running straight through him, to not holding his line before passing to Daly."

Planet Rugby 6/10: "Not a huge carrying threat but a smart operator. Took his try well and is a good distributor on the gain line, although he needs to show more in the rest of the Six Nations."

Replacement: Ollie Lawrence or Manu Tuilagi (If fit)

Evening Standard 6/10: "Showed his inexperience at the level for his yellow card, but recovered as the game progressed."

Telegraph 5/10: "Struggled to match the heights of last week, losing the ball in contact deep inside the Welsh 22 before conceding a penalty and yellow card for killing a maul."

Planet Rugby 4/10: "A great debut last week but not so good this time around. The yellow card was needless as all he had to do was hold them up as he had got onto the ball."

Replacement: Chandler Cunningham-South

Planet Rugby 5/10: "Much quieter than last weekend. Didn’t really get the opportunity to run but he was a useful chasing option."

Rugby Pass 6/10: "Unable to follow up his livewire Stadio Olimpico effort with another eye-catching display. Still had some good moments, namely his scramble defence."

Guardian 5/10: "A try-saving tackle on Josh Adams was a highlight but denied chances to repeat the attacking threat shown in Rome."

Replacement: Immanuel Feyi-Waboso 

Rugby Pass 6/10: "Didn’t shirk his tackle load with England under the first-half pump and had a lively second-half start before exiting on 52 minutes."

Rugby Dump 5/10: "Hauled off in the 50th minute after struggling to impose his mountable size over the young welsh pack."

Planet Rugby 5/10: "The scrum was not really a factor while he was on the field thanks to some smart (possibly underhand) tactics from the Welsh."

Replacement: Ellis Genge

Rugby Pass 7//10: "England needed a hurry up when he was introduced on 52 and he gave them that and more. A very energetic effort."
