5 players Eddie Jones NEEDS to take a look at after this weekend

Despite missing out on England’s Autumn Nations Series squad, these five Gallagher Premiership stars sent a clear message to Eddie Jones with their performances on the field this weekend.

#1. George Ford (Leicester Tigers)

Leicestershire Live: “After his England snub, this was the perfect message to all watching that Ford is playing some of his best rugby right now. His purple patch was during Wigglesworth’s sin-binning as he managed the game superbly covering both scrum-half and 10 to ensure Tigers came out of the period with just four points lost at a crucial juncture in the game.

“He conducted the attack superbly as usual and never gave an inch in defence either, including a counter-ruck that slowed up a dangerous first-half Saints attack.
