An England team of rugby players capable of bringing the World Cup home

An England football team of rugby players capable of bringing the World Cup home

Centre-midfield: Danny Care

Fit, athletic and a canny distributor – Care (bottom left) is the perfect creative midfielder, really. Also… he actually played football with Jamie Vardy (bottom right) for Sheffield Wednesday.


Centre-midfield: Chris Robshaw

The role – breaking up play, making life difficult, stopping the opposition – the Harlequins man was born to play.


Left-wing: Jonny May

One word: SPEED.


Striker: Alex Lozowski

Had a trial at Arsenal with Harry Kane. That makes him more than qualified to be in this XI.  Spot a young Lozowski (bottom left) and Harry Kane (middle row, third from right) in this photo.


Striker: Maro Itoje

The new Emile Heskey. Good ball control married with power: who else would you want leading the line? With his tendency to give away penalties we also want him as far away from our box as possible.
