Ospreys flanker Sam Underhill captained England Under 18s Follow Sam on Twitter Underhill has developed with Bath Rugby and gone on to become one of the best Flankers in the world, getting to a World Cup final and performing. Everyone involved with Sam Underhill is trying to keep a lid on the excitement surrounding the flanker, who could be the answer to England’s search for a specialist open-side. There’s nothing new about that, because rugged unflinching physicality is the Bath and England openside’s default position – and it has earned him plaudits as not only one of the best No.7s in the world, but also the most destructive Red Rose flanker since Peter Winterbottom.
