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

Anything about the opportunity to work with Dean Ryan in there?

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.

There was a BT Sport feature on him prior to a ERC game a season or two ago which clearly flagged the England interest was high on his agenda.
