There was massive expectation with Bent but he had nothing to offer when he arrived. There was no real expectation of a young Rodney. He didn't progress until the new scrum laws came in and he has done well. The management obviously seen something in him to persist with him for so long. He is now rumoured to make an appearance for the wolfhounds in which the Irish set up have obviously seen something too. He is a fantastic ball carrier and a good scrummager. Imagine the confidence he will get and an increase in playing level. This cold be a crowning moment for him and us.

What would be his competition? If it is between him, Archer or Bent I think that Rodney has just as much going for him as any of them.

I'm guessing that Moore, Ross, Fitzpatrick would all be in the squad already. Rodney would be playing an A game from the bench at most.

I'm probably in the minority, but I dont think he deserves his spot, yet
He's raised a cult following, as he has improved so much, but IMO, he needs to improve a lot more, or else he becomes just another Michael Bent.

Delighted if true !!! White will make make senior squad next year

That would be something! Would be a great reward for his turn in form this year.

Twitter rumours suggest Dave Ah You may be close to a Wolfhound squad inclusion. Interesting!
