He might want to do some research before this weekend’s test series opener…
England begin their tour of New Zealand on Saturday and, in case they needed any more motivation, All Blacks second-row Brodie Retallick has provided some.
Speaking at a press conference today, the 23-year-old was asked if he knew much about the English players ahead of the game, Retallick responded that he knew “a couple” of them.
When he was pressed for a name by journalists, the second row said “Michael Lawes” who awkwardly isn’t an England international rugby player, we presume he meant Courtney Lawes.
We know what Stuart Lancaster will be sticking up on the dressing room wall at Eden Park in Auckland but considering the amount of injuries England have, it may not be enough.
Hat-tip to the Guardian.
