Maro Itoje may be one of English rugbys most instantly recognisable figures, but he is still able to pass incognito among classmates at university.Itoje is studying politics and development and politics in Africa in the final year of a politics degree at SOAS University in central London, spending Tuesdays and Fridays in lessons.Despite being an ever-present for double-winning Saracens last season and a key figure in Englands Grand Slam march and series whitewash in Australia this year, the 21-year-old is able to attend lectures unnoticed.I dont think a lot of my classmates know who I am, Itoje said. My university experience is a little bit different to the standard students. I can be fairly discreet because only some lecturers and tutors know who I am.It makes life a little bit easier. I dont mind it -- its quite nice to go incognito for a while. Im in my final year now, I did my first two years full-time, but I had to split my last year over two. Im in the home straight.It helps me take my mind off rugby -- politics and development is a little bit different to Premiership rugby. It gives you a chance to lead a balanced life. It helps you keep the mind ticking over on other things, so its helpful.Itoje looks set to start at openside when England face South Africa in the first of four internationals staged at Twickenham this autumn, filling the void left by a succession of injuries in the position.Head coach Eddie Jones has described the Springboks as bullies ahead of their visit on Nov. 12 and Itoje has been given his own insight into their psyche due to the presence at Saracens of players such as Schalk Burger, Schalk Brits and Neil de Kock.South Africa are a very proud rugby nation and you notice that when you spend time with the South Africans in our squad, Itoje said.Theyre very proud and passionate about their rugby and they care a lot. Theyre very physical as well and are known for their physicality.Itoje was talking at Twickenham, which is being prepared to host its first NFL match when the Los Angeles Rams face the New York Giants on Sunday, and the second row has no desire to swap rugby for gridiron.I spent some time in America with an NFL player called Cassius Marsh. Hes a linebacker for Seattle, he said. Hes a good guy, a friend of one of my friends, but rugby is my passion and I have no desire to swap.He didnt try to recruit me, but he thought rugby was cool. He was like, You guys dont use pads man?They are obviously two different sports. The kind of tackles that they do, you wouldnt be able to do in rugby -- youd probably get a straight red in rugby.

PARIS -- France captain Amelie Mauresmo kept faith in the same players for the Fed Cup final against the two-time defending champion Czech Republic next week.Caroline Garcia, Kristina Mladenovic, Alize Cornet, and Pauline Parmentier were picked on Wednesday to face the Czechs at home in Strasbourg on Nov. 12-13 on an indoor hard court.The same quartet defeated the Netherlands in the semifinals.The Czechs are bidding for a fifth title in six years, and won the most recent meeting between the teams, in the semifinals last year. France has reached the final for the first time since 2005, and will be bidding for a third title.While the Czechs were favorites, Mauresmo said France was far from daunted.When you compare ourselves to the teams that have been winning this competition, they always have a top-10 player, and one or two players who won a Grand Slam title or made it to a major final, she said. But the rankings reflect a 52-week season. We only need two days.A lot of things can happen over two days and five matches. The girls are capable of raising their level to beat top players.The Czech team features sixth-ranked Karolina Pliskova, two-time Wimbleedon champion Petra Kvitova, Barbora Strycova, and Lucie Hradecka.ddddddddddddIts obviously a tall order, Maursemo said. They are not only very strong on paper, but they have also been playing at a very high level in this particular competition.Mladenovic and Garcia, who have featured in every French rubber this year, were cleared to play after the French Tennis Federation lifted their ban in September. The pair was provisionally suspended for damaging the federations image at the Rio de Janeiro Olympics, where the players criticized the FTT over a clothing mix-up after their defeat in the first round of the doubles.Mauresmo said she thought about giving a nod to the up-and-coming Oceane Dodin, who won her maiden WTA title in Quebec City in September. But the cohesion of her team prevailed over the 71st-ranked players form.I thought a lot about it, it was logical given her results over the past months, Mauresmo said. Its always a difficult task to find the right balance between the results of each player and the team spirit. ' ' '
