The 21-year-old, who joined the club’s academy in January 2022, has signed his first professional deal with the Warriors after making five appearances, including three starts earlier this year.

“Having such a good group of centres here to learn from is class, too. Being able to train with and against guys like Sione Tuipulotu, Huw Jones, Stafford McDowall and TJ (Tom Jordan) every day is unreal, and they’re good blokes too that are always happy to talk to you and help you develop,” Munn told Warriors’ website as his contract was announced.

“I just want to get myself in the best physical shape so I can put my hand up to be involved. I want to keep pushing to get better and to get as many minutes as I can in a Glasgow jersey.”

Head coach Franco Smith added: “Duncan is a model example of a young professional who is keen to learn from those around him and develop into the best possible version of himself.

Why England may be in better shape to win the 2027 Rugby World Cup than France

This is all very glass half full but when you look at the cold hard facts you have to ask yourself where Englands defence will develop in the next 18 months? You also have to ask if 18 months and 15 or so matches is enough time to develop their attacking game under Borthwick. Clive Woodward had an awesome top class coaching staff with a squad that included top of class players right through the backs and forwards and world beating leaders. They were the envy of the World for the 2 or 3 years leading up to the 2003 world cup and scored wins in NZ and Australia before the tourney and away to South Africa a couple of years prior to that. This England side has no big match temperament, have not won away from home against any of the big sides including in France where they butchered 2 games in a row in the last 3 years. In NZ they also butchered a chance to win. When the pressure comes this team rarely finds a way to win. France have at least picked up wins in Ireland and at Twickenham. They havent covered themselves in glory on their southern tours but their impressive home record is in tact bar the loss to South Africa last year and the terrible loss to Ireland in 2024. France have an awe inspiring backline with magicians right through, they have plenty of power in forwards and world leading coaches. Add to that the brilliant Top 14 and I rate they are better off than the English. Sure they have their problems but I aint buying even the suggestion that England are better placed to win the showpiece than them.
