Denny Solomona: Sale Sharks wing 'good enough for England', says Ugo Monye
Last updated on .From the section Rugby Union

Former England winger Ugo Monye believes Denny Solomona has a good chance of playing for the national team when he becomes eligible.
New Zealand-born Solomona, 23, will be available for Eddie Jones' side later this year after playing in England for the past 36 months.
He left rugby league when he switched codes to join Sale Sharks in December.
"He's scoring better than anyone in recent times. He's a revelation," Monye told BBC Radio 5 live.
"Is he good enough for England, based on what I've seen? Most definitely.
"The beauty of English rugby at the moment means we've got so many quality players and out of nowhere in the few months we've unearthed another potential international. It's a fantastic position for Eddie Jones to be in."
Solomona won a rugby league cap for Samoa last year, but that would not affect him meeting residency criteria for the 15-a-side code.
After successful spells with London Broncos and Castleford Tigers, including a record-breaking 40 tries in a single season, Solomona has caught the eye since joining Sale with seven tries in five Premiership games.
"He's a natural-born finisher, his try against Northampton was the best finish you'll see from any winger this season," said Monye, who believes the British and Irish Lions summer Tests in New Zealand and Argentina could be a good way to introduce Solomona to international rugby.
Sale director of rugby Steve Diamond has echoed Monye's thought, saying that Solomona has the "world at his feet".
Diamond added: "He understands the game. His spell in rugby league did him no harm. He got his basic skills up and comes to the party a top-drawer professional. I'd be looking at him if I was Eddie Jones."
Solomona's departure from Cas was acrimonious and the Super League club are taking legal action against the player, his agent and Sale.

much like most of the Welsh team who weren't born in Wales!!! BOOM
Not only did Wales have more foreign born players than anyone else at the last RWC they had more English players than England had foreign born players in total.
The WRU run a programme specifically designed to poach English players. http://www.wru.co.uk/eng/news/38152.php#.WKxsEjFvhjo
However this HYS will be a joy to read as all the blind fans will get a chance to air their grievances against England and ignore the fact that their own nation has talent born overseas (or South/East of the border).
The hypocrisy HYS
I'd rather be a bad team full of English players than a good one full of foreign players with absolutely no connection to this country other than they have lived here for 3 years.
Roko joined the British army and served which in my book should be enough to qualify
Hughes: fair call
Hartley: qualifies through English mum
Te'o qualifies through English mum
Yarde: moved here when 9 (so 15 yrs residency!) and learned his rugby in England
Try some research before putting together such a list
The question of whether he should play for England. Under current rules, there's nothing to stop him. But I do feel the RFU should only pick adult residency players after 5 years residency rather than 3.
Glad to see you back on HYS.
Have you only just finished crying about losing to the "England South Sea XV"?
Nice to see you've still got your daffodil tinted glasses on.
Can't wait for your next incisive anti English comment.
It's not the 70's anymore, deal with it!
England B team vs Scotland this weekend
I only just got round to seeing the Wales v England game last night. Having read the Fordyce report abroad I got the impression that England had spent 75 minutes under the cosh and had sneaked a lucky win.
In fact it was very even. Wales' back row were better as expected but England were slicker out wide. Each team won two quarters. The difference was that England scored in theirs!
If 'all' the Welsh were born near to each other, then you would have thought they would be an incredibly tight unit with the talent,skills ,desire and passion to beat England in their annual CUP FINAL. If you add in the traditional anti-anything English then it's a sad indictment that they still couldn't beat England,even at home. Must be the English who are more passionate.
