My Take
Geoff Parling, all 196 centimetres of him, is the kind of player I instinctively root for. A lock from Stockton-on-Tees who won three English titles with Leicester and Exeter, he spent his career in the bruising trenches of the game. Now coaching, I expect he makes an unusually empathetic leader, because someone who absorbed that much physical punishment on the field tends to understand exactly what he is asking of his players. That Scorpio tenacity reads as perfectly suited to the grind of forward play, and I find it easy to respect.
