Pace of Danny Care offers important lift for Harlequins
The sooner England double their quota of Dannys, the sooner England’s back
line will have the pace to frighten any team in the world. Danny Care, the
21-year-old scrum half, scored the decisive try yesterday as Harlequins beat
another team above them by 22-16 and moved to fifth in the table. Behind a
pack playing out of their skins, Care provides the constant threat around
the fringes that will surely lead Brian Ashton, the England head coach, to
call him up. “I would not be surprised if he went to New Zealand [on
England’s summer tour],” Dean Richards, the Harlequins director of rugby,
said.
