The 30-year-old is pondering a life beyond Saracens and the national team, and the stats say
England will miss him
Some players are more appreciated by their teammates than the general public. Which is why George Kruis will leave a more sizeable hole than some might think should next Saturday’s Six Nations fixture against Wales be his last appearance for England before he heads in an alternative direction.
There is no confirmation as yet but, with the
Italy game in Rome threatened by the coronavirus outbreak and a big-money offer from
Japan on the table, it is no secret that Kruis, now 30, is pondering a life beyond Saracens and the national team. Having invested in setting up a company which sells cannabis oil to help athletes relax and sleep better, his post-rugby plans are already well-advanced.
