"I haven't seen a player this good in the air, ever, and he's a teenager,"
"Get him in the England squad. He's got it. This kid is going to be amazing."
"I've seen his ability in the air, but he's gliding past players with ease which you don't see very often. He's scored three or four really good tries, you might get one [normally]."
"He's in a great team and, yes, Sale went down to 14 men, but in the first half, Sale didn't know how to deal with his ability in the air. To get five tries on your first start is... I'm lost for words. It is that good. Has he set the bar too high?"
Noah Caluori, a 19-year-old winger, scored five tries in his full Premiership debut as Saracens beat Sale Sharks 65-14. His 6ft 5in height and aerial ability repeatedly outmatched Sale's defence, producing tries both from the air and in open play. Pundits reacted strongly, with Sam Warburton urging England selection and Chris Ashton praising his finishing and comparing his style to past players. Sale briefly played with 14 men, but opponents and observers still noted Caluori's individual dominance. The performance included a swan-dive celebration and prompted talk of rapid rise and record potential.
