Josh Beaumont (Sale Sharks)
Montpellier while still studying at Durham University. Consistent in all areas.
Jack Clifford (Harlequins)
Since his Quins debut in 2012, the back rower has has gone onto captain England Under-20s, represent England Sevens and play for an England XV against the Barbarians.
Elliot Daly (Wasps)
One of the most exciting players in English rugby. A blistering attacker, strong defender and reliable goalkicker, it would be no surprise if the 23-year-old made it into England’s starting line-up v Scotland.
Ollie Devoto (Bath)
The 22-year-old has quickly developed into an integral part of Bath’s squad, despite the midfield presence of players like Jonathan Joseph and Kyle Eastmond. Has been a key player for the England Under-20s in
recent years.
Sam Hill (Exeter Chiefs)
Enjoyed a successful career with England Under-20s and helped them to world title glory in 2013. The
centre is a powerful runner with an eye for a gap and will relish his England senior squad opportunity.
Paul Hill (Northampton Saints)
Born in Germany, the prop was a Junior World Championship winner in 2014, having been capped at Under-16, 17 and 18 level. A strong scrummager and lively in the loose, he appears to be an impressive all-round
package.
Maro Itoje (Saracens)
A former England under-17 international shot putter, he made his senior Saracens debut as a 19-year-old and captained England to Junior World Championship glory in 2014. Is viewed by many as a senior England skipper-in-waiting.
