    What do you think of Ollie Sleightholme? Will he come off the bench for England during the Autumn Internationals?

    Great Saints tribute as always! With your next one when you get the chance Henry Pollock and Tom Litchfield are the future for Saints. Both playing in the derby against Leicester Tigers this weekend! Keep the content coming!

      Thanks, Jonathon. It's so much fun to make a Saints tribute: the way they play gives me so many options in the editing.
      I can tell you love a bit of Litchfield. Tell you what, I'm covering Alex Coles next because he's my favourite forward in the Prem. I'll cover Litchfield after him.
      Your support and requests are always appreciated. All the best for tomorrow's game! 😇

    Good job of capturing the fact that Ollie’s as comfortable with the physical confrontation as well as using his speed in open spaces.
    One thing I think that’s less well known is how good he is in defence. He hits hard and jackals exceptionally well to win ball or slow the opposition down.

      @@cosmojames7710 Thank you, James!
      My thinking was that there are already plenty of videos highlighting his attacking prowess, so why not focus more on his defense?
      That tackle on Bassett in particular showcases how good his work-rate is off the ball.

    The clip against New Zealand where he burns Reece is so refreshing. He’s an out and out wing. I know being good at kick chase and defence matters, but sometimes you just need someone with straight line speed to scare an opposition. Sleightholme has that.

      I completely agree. It's a shame that England haven't had any fixtures against Tier 2 nations during the summer like Canada and USA in 2021.
      I would say that's the perfect place to unleash Sleights, but he came off the bench against NEW ZEALAND and bossed it. So what do I know? 😂

    His dad was a fine winger so he's got pedigree. But the only opportunity he got for Eng in NZ (probably 5 mins game time) he took with both hands...he's def ready for Test Rugby.

    • @StanWilks
      @StanWilks  3 месяца назад

      Well said, Derek. Talent is clearly genetic in that family.
      You raise a good point that he made first impressions count. I'd love to see him and Roebuck on the wings against the Barbarians or a fixture of a similar ilk.

    Personally I think he's the best winger in England that is probably a minority view however i think he is a better finisher than both Freeman and Waboso the current first choices. By the way i think Freeman is a terrific player however i think he could be an even better 13 than wing in fact it might be the case with Waboso as well.

    • @philipeafroboy1
      @philipeafroboy1 3 месяца назад +1

      yeah wouldn't mind seeing Freeman at 13 with Sleighholme and FW on the wings. Problem is Lawrence is by far England's best 13 atm and doesn't shine as much at 12

    • @StanWilks
      @StanWilks  3 месяца назад

      I don't think that's even an opinion; I'd argue it's fact. His ability to finish from long-range is arguably better than almost every other player in the league. I was amazed by how many brilliant tries he gave me to work with.
      As for Freeman, I completely agree. He expressed interest in wanting to play as many positions as possible on the For Love of Rugby podcast, so it won't be long before we see experiments occur.
      There is a tribute of Freeman on here from a while back. Feel free to check it out. Thanks for your comment!
