England prop Ellis Genge wasn’t always a forward, but he was always the Baby Rhino even when he played out on the wing.
A number of clips of the England prop playing on the wing has been unearthed, and he looked pretty decent in that position.
One fan wrote: “15 definitely tries to two-foot him after getting bumped.”
A second commented: “The tackle attempt from the 6 was hilarious.”
Another said: “Thank god some lucky stud got him by the ankle and slowed him down.”
Borthwick’s 2023 RWC 55-Man England Training Squad Predicted
