Sir Ian McGeechan tips Zinzan Brooke's son to star for England

McGeechan wrote: "One-to-watch is London Irish’s outrageously talented teenager Lucas Brooke. The son of All Black legend Zinzan, he can, like his father, play anywhere across the back row, and has even been known to dabble at hooker."

McGeechan wrote: "Smith’s grandfather is former Scotland and Lions loosehead Tom Elliot). He’s not lightning quick, or big, or a sledgehammer tackler, but he has a remarkable composure that belies his years. His game-management, kicking game and timing of passes marks him out as a very special player I rate very highly."

McGeechan wrote: "The son of Bath favourite Steve may not play in the back row like his father, but he has that same dynamism. With good distributive skills and excellent decision-making under pressure, he will go a long way."

McGeechan wrote: "Few players can impact a game like the former Wasps hooker who switched to the back row. Still just 21, he has been out injured but remains one of the most impressively powerful ball-carriers I’ve ever seen in the Premiership."

McGeechan wrote: "I still think that Quirke could come through before the 2023 World Cup. With England’s faster game, his speed, tempo and eye for a break are exactly what’s needed and complement Marcus Smith"
