Graham Rowntree is set for a traditionally busy Christmas of rugby and the former England prop explained what he is looking for from potential recruits to Stuart Lancaster's first EPS squad, which is named on January 11.
Rowntree also discusses English performances in the Heineken Cup; the differences in approaches from forward packs in Europe; his view on what is or isn't going wrong at the scrum; and his time coaching for England with the recently departed pair Mike Ford and John Wells.
