Tommy Fourman, Smith stars & Radwan’s form – Prem talking points

Noah Caluori’s five tries against Northampton Saints on Friday increased the interest in his second start for Saracens.

He was named in Steve Borthwick’s England training squad as a development player after his performance against the Sale Sharks on Sunday.

Saints reduced their kicking to Caluori in order to deal with the breakout star’s freakish aerial prowess, while the teenager struggled to get the ball in hand to show his running prowess.

Tommy Freeman, a winger from Northampton, won the game with four tries, 43-31.

The 24-year-old caught the ball over his head and sprinted clear to claim victory in the end result, which demonstrated his impressive aerial prowess.

In addition to starting the final Six Nations game against Wales outside center, Freeman, who has played full-back this season, also started.

He did not perform at his best level in those three Tests, but he did in the wing in all three of the British and Irish Lions Tests this summer.

Before England’s Saturday game against Australia, Friday served as a reminder of his level.

Tommy does so many things very well, including looking physically, moving quickly, being skilled, taking the ball in the air beautifully, and positioning,” according to Northampton manager Phil Dowson.

He gave an outstanding performance, and he’s just a phenom right now.

The weekend before facing Australia is the one when an England international makes a standout performance.

Marcus Smith, the Harlequins’ fly-half, performed at his most magical as Quins defeated the Red Bulls 52-14 to win the game.

The 26-year-old intercepted Will Porter’s cross from his own half to send a stunning score past the posts.

Everyone yelled at Marcus Smith [last week] against Exeter. This week, everyone is now back on his bandwagon. Head coach Jason Gilmore said that when the team performs well, it is at its best.

Smith started all four of England’s games last fall, but despite being replaced by Fin Smith in the Six Nations, the Harlequins playmaker continued to play in a Lions Test over the summer in place of his namesake despite losing his fly-half spot.

The Saints’ Smith and George Ford have each started seven of their previous seven international starts at flyhalf.

Marcus Smith has won numerous starts from the bench because of his ability to play fullback, but his display on Saturday once more demonstrated why fly-half is where he poses the greatest threat.

He could show off his unwavering talent, which was the bright spot in Borthwick’s side’s difficult autumn last year, against winless Newcastle.

As Exeter finished ninth in the league last year, they scored 528 points.

With a 39-12 victory over Gloucester on Saturday to support their emphatic victory over Quins, they are now third in the Prem, three wins from their first five games.

Rob Baxter has successfully transitioned a young squad, and his patience is now being felt.

Immanuel Feyi-Waboso, 22, who is in top form and a league-leading seven tries this season, took his try with gusto as he headed to the international camp.

The central partnership of Australia’s Len Ikitau and England’s Henry Slade, who have hit the ground running to demonstrate their international quality, has been a key factor in the back-to-back victories.

Slade, who started against Australia last season as a regular under Borthwick, scored twice for the second weekend in a row.

For Adam Radwan’s thoughts, that is a penny.

The 27-year-old would have likely been in the England camp this week without Caluori’s sensational five tries against the Sale Sharks.

The Tigers of Leicester wing’s inclusion in the England training squad last week appeared to be an important step in his 2021 resurgence.

In Leicester’s one-point victory over Sale on Saturday, Radwan scored two tries that demonstrated his electric acceleration.

However, Caluori’s addition to Borthwick’s final squad did not help him get a spot in Borthwick’s final team.

Borthwick would have had a close look at Caluori’s distinctive aerial ability during the week-long training session.

The champions then came back on Saturday to defeat Bristol Bears 40-15 at home to claim their fourth win of the season.

In addition to the dynamic backs Henry Arundell and Santiago Carreras, both of whom started against Bristol, Johann van Graan strengthened his side in the summer.

On 61 minutes, Van Graan unleashed Alfie Barbeary, Sam Underhill, and Will Stuart on a formidable bench that included them.

Arundell’s intercept try from deep inside his own half, his fourth Prem try this season, was the difference, as three more tries followed.

Due to injury, Bristol also lost wingers Louis Rees-Zammit and Gabriel Ibitoye, along with renowned backs Harry Randall and AJ MacGinty.
