With Jack out I would say Oghre is our next best jackaller, he doesn't get so many chances to jackal when playing at Hooker though.

Can't believe I forgot Gaby

The more jackallers you have, the easier it is for all of them, as the opposition cannot target them all out of the game.

Not sure who it was, maybe Aston Healey, that was pointing out how Wasps were lasting well in games because the turnover rate was tiring opposition whilst preserving their own energy.

Hence why having Young and Willis simultaneously was a strength and arguably our best form in years post lockdown.

For everybody's information: There is a lengthy article in the Telegraph on Alfie and England. It has many photos and vids which are integral to it, so a copy and paste job is impossible (at least for me, sorry). I suggest all who can should read it.
