Dear James Haskell,

Tom Croft, the nearest thing English rugby has to a young Lawrence Dallaglio, is the quickest forward in the country, by a margin best described either as Usainist or Boltish.



The 24-year-old line-out specialist featured in all three of England's internationals last autumn, but then broke down with knee ligament problems – first in December, and again six weeks later. It cost him the remainder of his club's European campaign and the whole of the Six Nations, during which James Haskell and Joe Worsley occupied the blind-side berth. Had either man pieced together a really strong body of work, Croft might not have come marching straight back in for a demanding personal duel with the Wallaby captain Rocky Elsom today.

Love,

The Independent

OH SNAP! Looks like someone's plan backfired! Karma. The laws of the universe. Whatever you want to call it, it never fails! If only The Mouth would learn...
