I have tried to keep him under my wing for a while because I love the way he plays and how he is a 360 degree player. I like his temperament. He is a bit of a loose head occasionally but I like the fact he cares so much and how aggressive he is. It is encouraging to see a youngster like Jason being given the freedom by England to make mistakes. He is enjoying the environment. All the players are loving it and that is being reflected in results.
