Itoje Commends "Greek Stone" Hill Before Pre-Calcutta Cup Preparations

England captain Maro Itoje is looking forward to the potential of playing alongside Ted Hill this Saturday in the Six Nations fixture against Scotland. Itoje has termed Hill, who was elevated to the bench after the injury to George Martin, as "a man carved out of Greek stone." The Bath back-rower, who played for England in 2021, impressed Itoje with his athleticism and strength. Itoje compared Hill to Captain America or Superman and praised the end athlete's capabilities. England's attack coach Richard Wigglesworth mentioned Hill's unusual strengths such as his pace and line-out ability as positives for the team in the important Calcutta Cup tie.
