Care has X-Factor

Posted on by admin

Danny Care has all the talent required to become the stardust player that the England team is crying out for and possibly needs in order to mount a challenge for the 2015 Rugby World Cup on home soil, according to the player’s team mate at Harlequins FC, Nick Easter.

The half back, at 27 years old, is entering the prime of his career, and has had a superb season for the Quins in the Aviva Premiership this season and he will have plenty of chances to impress England national tam boss Stuart Lancaster in the RBS Six Nations Championship as he looks to nail down a first team place ahead of the World Cup.

The current England squad is completely ravaged by injuries to key players and the return of Care to training with Harlequins FC since he suffered an injury playing for the club during their recent defeat at the hands of Clermont in the Heineken Cup comes as a huge boost for Lancaster as well as the team’s chances of reclaiming the Six Nations title for the first time in three years.

England faces a tricky away trip to France in their first match of the RBS Six Nations Championship this season and Care should be fit for selection for the match.

And speaking of his team mate, the former England skipper Easter stated that Care has been very unlucky over the last few years because he has been the best player in scrum half in England and still hasn’t been picked but now he has the opportunity to set things right and claim his starting berth for England in the future.

He also stated that his Harlequins FC is one with that X-factor that England need to challenge for the World Cup title when the event comes home next year.

Robshaw hails England performance

England and Harlequins FC player Chris Robshaw has reacted to the national team’s defeat to Rugby World Cup holders New Zealand in a spirited display by stating that the team has no other option but win the Six Nations to show the fans that there have been genuine progress made by the side.

The All Blacks went on to avenge their humiliating defeat at the hands of England at the fabled Twickenham Stoop in last summer’s autumn international as they defeated the Englishmen in one of the most captivating matches of the QBE Internationals. However, the All Blacks were brought down to a pretty ordinary level by the England players and the England skipper is confident it is a sign of good things to come in the future.

For a New Zealand team that motivates itself by claiming to be the most dominant team in the history of professional rugby in the world needed some divine intervention and a moment of genius from two of their stars to preserve their perfect record this season.

And although it was the team’s second defeat in eleven internationals, the Harlequins FC man still thinks even that record is unacceptable, and it doesn’t matter whether the loss comes at the hands of the world champions.

The England skipper stated the team definitely is very close to where they want to be but there is still some distance to go before they reach that stage. He went on to add that had they beaten New Zealand, they would have been pretty happy but they are in a position where they will come close to winning every match and it is a matter of concentration and focus that will see them through to victory in the end and the Harlequins FC player knows that the end is in sight.
