smacks of BS to me, could understand tying him down with a Saxons game or maybe maybe MAYBE doing the same if theyre missing a lot of players for the first test this summer due to the premiership final
But he hasnt even been playing particularly well in 2016
Totally agree. If he's in the frame to play for England I'd feel fairly confident for our home game against England next year!
having read the original article now and not the 42's coverage of it, the article implies Teo will be fast tracked come November, it also implies England was on his mind when he moved hemispheres
also his Worcester contract doesnt start til July so he cant be considered til then
Retired from babbling. Can be found on twittter @okeeffesimon

Anything about the opportunity to work with Dean Ryan in there?
Ruddock's tackle stats consistently too low for me to be taken seriously as a Six Nations blindside..... Ruddock's defensive stats don't stack up. - All Blacks Nil, Jan 15th, 2014

Why? He's a very good player who's adapted well to union. One of the best athletes in the sport too. 6'2" and 105kg so can crash it up, but has pace and a step too. Like a slightly less powerful but more aware and rounded Manu Tuilagi.
