"Atkinson is one of the fastest rising young stars in the UK, and possibly beyond. He made headlines over the summer upon signing terms with Wasps after an outstanding few years with Abingdon School as he was promoted straight to the first team. He was in the headlines not long after, too, as England captain Owen Farrell was sent off for a nasty high tackle on the young outside half. The point that was missed among all the headlines though was that he was a young man only 6 weeks out of school being trusted in a Premiership game against the reigning champions by the side that would go on to reach the final.
To those that had seen him in action for Abingdon, Wasps U18, and England U18 in the last few years, that really should not have been a surprise, Atkinson has been playing beyond his years for a long time. In you wanted two words to describe his game they would be ‘class’ and ‘time’, he oozes class in his style of play and always seems to have time on the ball, as all the very best players do."
Interesting, that's some praise!
