There’s only one place to start.
Noah Caluori, Saracens’ helium-heeled wing, announced himself with a sensational five tries on his first Prem start and finished the weekend with a call-up to train with the England senior side.
The 19-year-old made 233 metres with ball in hand in a 65-14 thrashing of Sale, but just as exciting to England coach Steve Borthwick will have been the vertical distance travelled.
Caluori stands 6ft 4in tall, but soars to unprecedented altitudes in pursuit of a high ball.
In addition to crossing five times himself, he earned a penalty try when – attempting to claim an Owen Farrell cross-kick ball over his head – he was taken out by opposite number Tom O’Flaherty way, way below him.
Caluori is also a slippery runner – beating 10 defenders – and showed a canny footballing brain, setting up a second-half try for Ben Earl with a well-judged grubber back inside.
Although Borthwick has handed them out less frequently than predecessor Eddie Jones, he is far from the first starlet to be invited into England training.
Marcus Smith, Jacob Umaga, Josh Hodge, Zach Mercer and Ted Hill have received similar call-ups.
Australia and Leicester fly-half James O’Connor, who scored a hat-trick on his first Wallabies start as an 18-year-old, can also attest that not all teenagers kick on to fully realise their hype.
But Caluori’s unique ability seems easy to bring into the game and especially difficult to counter.
Despite Saracens coach Mark McCall’s Sir Alex Ferguson-style attempts to temper expectations, we are surely going to see plenty more of him.
Not just on the pitch either. For a rebranded club in a rebranded league, he could be a new Gen Z figurehead, with a burgeoning showreel and busy TikTok output.
It may be just as well that his Swiss father Andreas works in sports marketing.
