Tom Dunn
The former prop has brought his effective scrummaging and ball-carrying to play into his role at hooker with devastating effect for Bath Rugby.
Since making his debut in October 2016, the 25-year-old has gone from strength to strength, even forcing his way into the England training squad.

Dunn made a colossal 31 tackles in Bath’s 20-16 defeat against Toulon last weekend, and then bettered it on Saturday as the West Country side got their revenge at the Rec, making 33 out of 33.
The Bath hooker has made an impressive 149 tackles and with his place firmly cemented Todd Blackadder’s side, expect plenty more tackling in 2018 and possibly more international recognition.
