Scored opening try on England debut & England win

He's England elite with the likes of Welsby, Morgan smithies (captain), Ryan Foreshaw and Tom olroyd

Forshaw picked ahead of welsby for England. Quite a lot of this years u16 been overrated and struggled when it mattered

Welsby the better player for me but is a fullback.. I'd go ad far to say Welsby the best u16 I've seen..

Im pretty sure he scored two tries for England last night, Welsby that is.

A poor quality game down at cas last night,take nothing away from England but the French were nothing like the standard they should be they rarely completed a set kicked on the first tackle at least twice.

We need better competion than that for our elite players, maybe a 3 match series between east vs west giving far more players a chance to stake a place in a 2 match series against the French later in the year.

Hard to judge the England team based on that,Tom holdroyd is a beast at 16 but he needs to trim down going into the 19s and improve is leg speed. The other stand outs for me was the sub hooker and the England 4 who put in some monster hits in defence excuse my ignorance for not knowing there names has I never got a team sheet. I still feel last years 16s are a cut above anything we've seen for the last 5 years and this is been backed up with some impressive performances in the 19s comp.

Holdroyd is a big lad isn't he

He certainly is 120kg by all accounts,the lad can play no doubt about that but I'm always sceptical has he's got such an advantage at this age but it won't always be the case.

The number 4 was St HELENS centre Matthew Foster I think

Good luck to all of our Academy tourists en-route to Australia today
