An alternative England XV: We pick a team of players unlucky to miss out…

6. Don Armand (Exeter Chiefs) 

Nominated for Premiership Player of the Year last season, he is the helmsman of the Exeter driving maul, and he is a great rugby player. He should be in the squad.


7. James Haskell (Northampton Saints)


8. Jono Ross (Sale Sharks)

He is a sensationally-tough ball carrier with real variety, he can win you an inch in the dogfight or play out wide in the 15-metre channels. He has great hands, is a top line-out athlete and tackles anything, topping the tackle count in the league with 108.
