Reihana tips Geraghty for England

Shane Geraghty
Geraghty has scored 42 points in 4 games for Saints

Northampton Saints' Bruce Reihana believes Shane Geraghty has a bright future with the club, and for England.

Jon Clarke, Ben Foden and Geraghty have all impressed for Saints, ahead of England's autumn internationals against Australia and New Zealand.

"[Shane] has got a lot of flair in his game, he loves to attack and he's got great feet and hands," Reihana told BBC Radio Northampton.

"He's young and a great player for the future for us and England."

Geraghty scored his first try for the Saints, and added seven points through one penalty and two conversions, against Leeds. Reihana added that greater consistency in the team's play would allow the young players in the side to shine.

"It's nice when team functions together, and there's individual brilliance - we were scoring some really good tries.

"To get a good start this season and still be nowhere near our potential is exciting. Those players add to that excitement," said Reihana.
