WORCESTER Warriors rookie Jamie Shillcock has a “massive left boot” and all the skills “to be a top player”.

That’s the view from Warriors’ experienced fly-half Ryan Lamb, who wants to pass on his experience to the 19-year-old.

Shillcock comes in at full-back for his Aviva Premiership debut tomorrow at Bath (3pm).

He hit headlines as a 17-year-old when called up at scrum-half for Warriors’ Championship play-off semi-final second leg against London Scottish in April 2015.

Shillcock came off the bench at Sixways to make his debut and was also named as a replacement in both final legs against Bristol in the absence of Jonny Arr and Charlie Mulchrone.

The Coventry-born player, whose preferred position is at fly-half, has represented England Counties under 18s and England Academies under 19s.

Lamb, 30, said: “Shilly’s going to be a very good player and he’s got all the skills set you need to be a top player.

“He has a massive left boot and is an exciting player. I would like to show him a few things because he’s still a bit raw.

“I want to show him the way to be a professional and how fly-halves should conduct themselves and boss the team around.”

Shillcock, a former Warwick School pupil, has come on in “leaps and bounds” from last season and been given a “new lease of life”, according to Lamb.

“He’s playing at full-back for our A team and that might give him a different perspective on the game,” said Lamb.

“Shilly and Tiff Eden are both very good players, so I think for the future Worcester are definitely set up with a good 10.”

Lamb also warned the young players at Sixways not to take too much notice of the fans’ views, particularly on social media.

“I used to take notice of things the fans said when I was a bit younger but a lot of them don’t really know what’s going on inside the club and what you are trying to do in a game,” said Lamb.

“It’s great to have an opinion but I don’t really listen to much of it because everyone wants to put you on a pedestal and then knock you down.

“It’s always the same wherever you go, you will have your fans and your critics and social media is what it is. People will say anything just to get a like or a retweet.”
