#2. George Ford – replaced by Marcus Smith
Smith played for an England XV against the Barbarians in 2019, scoring 26 points and a try in a man-of-the-match performance, but has yet to win a full international cap. The Harlequins play-maker is in exceptional form for his club and is currently the Gallagher Premiership’s top points scorer for the 2020/21 season. Meanwhile, Ford looks firmly past his best.
