Alex Shaw

Alex is a rugby journalist who specialises in talent identification and can usually be found on the sidelines of age-grade matches up and down the UK. Having previously written for publications such as Rugby World and Planet Rugby, he has now come on board full-time with RugbyPass, providing columns on topical issues, scouting reports on future stars and reporting the latest breaking news. He can often be found bemoaning Saracens’ inferior talent ID circa 2005-2008 which, he claims, is the reason he is not a 50-cap man for England. @alexshawsport
