Josh Beaumont (Sale Sharks)
Jack Clifford (Harlequins)
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.
