Who is the blond long haired guy?

No idea, here's a pic. Young, quite short (about the same height as Minozzi)

Who is the blond long haired guy?

Think this could perhaps be Mason Winterburn a young 9 in the U18s.
Will Glister has a pretty solid mullet I think but I believe is much taller so not him in my opinions - lots of England u18 call ups last year for Glister so hope he’s still attached to the club as haven’t seen him in training yet.
The guy I asked about at the end of the passing line last in the video I think is definitely Epi Rokodrava.

Also down the passing line from Odogwu - Mills is Jamie Annand (I think) a 10/12 who a few of my teacher friends know from his education in Dubai, not sure if he’ll be with us FT or at uni. Not sure who the guy on the end is.

I'm just waiting for the club to release one of these that has Christian Wade casually strolling around in the background!

My hope too but think wishful misplaced thinking has taken hold!

Great update- thanks.

Minozzi is definitely there then - I had my doubts. Is that Ma’asi-White getting the praise for the leg drive at the end?

Fairly sure its Will Glister who was already sporting a mullet.

Epi Rokodrava looked good at the end of the video. Good strong tackle and is a big boy too.

[JonnyD]

Perhaps it’s wishful thinking on my part but is Minozzi looking fresh and sharp here? No strapping on the leg, I hope he’s in a good place mentally too. Like a new signing again for us.

Also, have we only announced one u18 promotion officially in Asher Opoku-Fordjour?
Lots of u18 lads involved here in this video, some of whom must have left school now but who will be with us FT? Historically our university contracted players have not worked out at all for us (apart from Will Rowlands) so we really need to keep up with the FT assembly line that has worked very well over the last 2 years

From social media I think the England u20 lads are still on holiday given their summer tournament.

After a bit of research Will Glister has another year at school at Oxford College, which means his caps at u18 level already are even more impressive!

After looking back at the week 1 video again, confident the young lad with the mullet is Mason Winterburn

A little surprising that the leadership group - Launch, Robson, Shields, Bassett, Jack Willis and Oghre - doesn’t contain a fly half. 
Or indeed an inside centre.

I guess that’s because we are where we are.
But it does concern me.

I am also concerned about Mullets.
We don't want them back, thank you very much.
Any offending offending haircuts should be up for punishment come end of season!

Agree that it is a concern and puts more pressure onto Robson in guiding us in terms of decision making, tempo and responsibility. We have seen Umaga try to take charge but not quite get it right and we have seen Atkinson grow but still let Dobby or Jimmy take the lead. Don’t imagine WH-W will come in as a new young player and be bossing everyone around just yet either.
Time for them all to step up this year.
