Greenwood backs Lamb to shine

In the Daily Telegraph, former England centre Will Greenwood says that it is time for London Irish fly-half Ryan Lamb to find the consistency that could take him to the top of the game.

"Lamb has been goal-kicking with top-class percentages and has an unerring ability to find at least three gaping holes a game with precision passing, he also has a knack of flying by the seat of his pants when it comes to game management. And the fact that Lamb doesn’t do boring causes its own set of problems.

"He will attract criticism, his spotlight errors will make it hard for him to climb the ladder to Test rugby, but a week later, given the same choice of choosing safety or making the miracle pass, he will still take it on — like last week’s back-of-the-hand pass which almost cost his side a try completely against the run of play.

"It is fascinating watching Lamb develop. If he learns from [Mike] Catt and his more experienced team-mates he could take Irish to the summit."
