“I got those little bits of feedback and selection is for Eddie to decide, who am I to say if he is wrong or right, whether I am playing or not?

“The only thing I can do is accept it, which is hard and certainly takes a few days but then you get back to your club and get on with and respond in the right way, do all you can for your club who are paying you.”

As always, such a fantastic attitude. I am sure in my mind that he will get back into the England squad between now and the World Cup and will be going to Japan. I was very lucky to meet and chat to Jonny Wilkinson last week and he also believes the same with regards to Brown breaking back in and going to the World Cup. He really spoke highly of Brown.

Also with regards to Mikes comments on leading the back three, especially in Cadan Murley’s and Gabriel Ibitoye’s cases; if you are to play and learn from anyone who can lead the back three, you’ll get no better than Brown in the Premiership and not much better in world rugby. Great for their development and for Harlequins in general.

I may be wrong but my guess is that the reason she stays unattached to a club is because she has many clients who are different athletes and rugby players representing other clubs. I would think that the reason why she hasn’t worked directly with a team per say permanently is probably because it means she can’t commit as much time to other athletes and maybe would also be restriction to only working with rugby players from our club. If my memory serves me correctly I believe she works with Danny Cipriani from time to time.

Because he says in the interview he's doing it himself for the England role.

“I want to play well for Quins because I want them to achieve but also because I want to play well for England.

“That is why I work hard, to play for England. That is why I spend my own money on preparation, spend the hours I do away from my family."

I sincerely hope some of Brown's defensive prowess rubs off on Gabriel Ibitoye - he needs it.

I think it will Bolly, Ibotoye has it all in attack and now he has Brown both mentoring him and on occasion playing alongside him, it will not be long until Ibotoye develops the whole package. Something Brown is also one of the best as most of us know by now is his counter attacking skills; throw Ibotoye in there and thats a recipe for disaster for the opposition if they aren’t switched in enough.  I can see Ibotoye becoming a great if he carries on the way he is doing

Ibitoye has huge potential - but so did Christian Wade. Let's just hope that he is committed to learning what it takes to defend.

Yeah Brown had that attitude from day 1. I'm not sure how much of it can be coached.
