I know that we are only 3 games in to the new season but the improvement in the players who went to the world cup is there for all to see.
The Scottish reps of Ollie Wilkes & Kevin Henderson are both making giant strides on the pitch with their strong drives & big hits, also backing up as Ollie showed to open his try account for the season against salford.
The Irish reps have also started in great style with Scott Grix looking very comfortable at stand off (until he got injured) Sean Gleeson looking determined to make the centres shirt his own & giving a great service to Damien Blanch who kick started his season with 2 well taken tries, the 2nd totally out dummying robbie paul to go in at the corner & his brilliant kick return in the 2nd half where mark henry showed him the outside & Damian skinned him with ease.
Already looking forward to Broughy & TLL coming back to show us what they can bring to the world cup party .

Agreed, You can tell that have all improved and the world cup experience has helped in this.

Hendo is playing really well and doe snot get enough praise at times, but like Bibey and I can see Stosic been a bit like that, doing lot's of work and not getting mentioned.

Good to see Wilkes back on form too, he seems to be able to control ball a lot better, but let's hope they can keep it up. Only 3 games in, long way to go yet
