5 players you didn’t know could swap nations in 2022, including Danny Cipriani

Below, we pick out five players you didn’t know could swap nations in 2022, including former England international Danny Cipriani.

#1. Zach Mercer (England to New Zealand)

Described as ‘fat and lazy’ by England boss Eddie Jones before his international debut, this would be the ultimate way to prove the Aussie wrong.
