Don't start slagging off Rory Underwood. For a start, at IOT, he was immediately put under pressure that he WOULD be playing for England, whatever the circumstances during his training. That hurt his progress.
Then when he hit the Sqn [360], he was away for periods training or playing. However, when he got back strapped into the jet, he flew hard and long and made the same hours as everyone else.
I admired the bloke for his dedication to both his country team and the Sqn.
