'He gives me a new lease of life' - Genge hails Saints 'superstar' Pollock
England prop Ellis Genge says Henry Pollock has given him 'a new lease of life'.
Pollock has made a huge impression during the Quilter Nations Series, impressing his Red Rose team-mates.
England won all four of their autumn matches, beating Australia, Fiji, New Zealand and Argentina.
Pollock played a part in all of those games, shining as a super-sub for Steve Borthwick's side.
And Bristol ace Genge has clearly taken to the Saints star.
"It's been amazing," Genge told TNT Sports. "You've got 20-year-olds like Pollock, or 19 when he first came into camp. I enjoy watching him loving it.
"He's a superstar in his own right and he deserves it.
"Obviously, sometimes you have to tell him to wind his neck in, but he's a ball of energy, and it almost gives me a new lease of life.
"When you're getting old, you've got three kids, and then you've got a bloke coming in with the Gaultier, and he thinks he's the boy. He gives me a new lease of life and I genuinely love watching him enjoying himself.
"I do feel like a dad. Ironically, he gives me energy.
"I love watching his work."
