Danny Care played 101 times for England before mentoring Lucas Friday at Harlequins. Care, 39, passed the torch to the 19-year-old Friday, who had only three minutes of top-flight rugby before his debut. Care's father, Mike Friday, was his junior mentor, creating a full-circle moment.

Friday's lightning speed and bullet pass mirror Care's early style. Despite tearing his ACL in the 2024 Under-20 Six Nations, Friday returned in nine and a half months, becoming a regular for Quins. His recent Champions Cup win over La Rochelle showed he's ready for Europe's elite, impressing Care with his composure.

Friday now aims to emulate Care and Ben Youngs, with Care hoping he becomes England's next dominant scrum-half.
