7. James Haskell
Injuries have stopped our favourite flanker getting to his best, and despite touring with the British & Irish Lions, we’ve not seen the best of Haskell at any point in 2017. For now he’s out of the England reckoning but hopefully, we will see the big man back to his rampaging best in 2017.

The flanker was a standout star for Scotland during the 2016 Six Nations and he was decent again this year. However, he was suspended for three months “Gross Misconduct” by Edinburgh Rugby for cocaine use in October.
