McGeechan on Itoje: ” He has cut out many of the avoidable penalties and now when England are up against it, you are seeing the best of him. Against Ireland this year, for instance. Ball carrier, spoiler, competitor, excellent line-out operator, and very good hands as well. Also a natural leader. Maturing.”
McGeechan on Johnson: “I don’t think you will find many arguing against this pick. Martin was one of the greatest leaders world rugby has known and his career was absolutely extraordinary.”
