Ewels Looks To Power Up In Bid To Be World's Best
CHARLIE Ewels has vowed to turn up the heat on England’s established second rows and bag a Six Nations debut.
Highly-rated Bath star Ewels, 22, is creeping up England’s pecking order by developing the kind of athletic, all-round game that appeals to Red Rose boss Eddie Jones and may see him supersede Joe Launchbury, Courtney Lawes or George Kruis in 2018.
To reach the next level Ewels explains how he is honing tackling and breakdown skills, as well as developing his physique, and reveals how assimilating the best of what the Southern Hemisphere has to offer can help transform him into the complete lock.
Ewels, who earned his sixth cap against Samoa last month after formidable displays in Argentina in June, told The Rugby Paper: “It was good to be back involved with England during November and I feel I’ve got better again for being in that environment.
“However, it also reminds you that everyone else is getting better and is moving forward as well.
“The way Eddie runs the environment means you never feel comfortable; you’re always being pushed and there’s never a session you can coast through.
