I like a backrower to have decent hands. Philbin falls down in that area a little. I’m happy to see him in the role he is in, it was good enough to get him a GB call up.
Me too really, wish we had 2 2nd rows who promote the ball at the minute, I appreciate he has done well to get the gb call up, I'm not convinced though that he has the size or impact to be a starting prop. I suppose the overall size doesn't matter if the running lines are good, his work rate can't be questioned for sure. Maybe I'm being harsh i can't remember back to when he got the call up to compare if he was any better then.
