Sir Clive Woodward has revealed three stars he'd like to see drop out during the Autumn Internationals - and has revealed who he'd like to take their place.
for Elliot Daly
- Position: Fullback
- Replaces: Elliot Daly
Woodward said: "Daly has been playing out of position at full back.
"Malins at full back I'd welcome as a recognition of his talent in the Autumn.
"Daly is a major talent and I hope that being dropped will remotivate him and see a return to his best."
DID YOU KNOW? Whilst at school Malins was also a promising cricketer and field hockey player, representing the school 1st XI at both sports from the age of 15 and top scoring in the 2014 Cape Town international Hockey Festival
#2. Marcus Smith for Owen Farrell
- Position: Fly-half
- Replaces: Owen Farrell
WOODWARD SAID: "Smith has the ability to terrify defences and is currently the best goal-kicker in world rugby.
"This young man is very special — a blazing talent blessed with confidence and X factor — and should have been starting for England throughout the Six Nations, as I wrote last autumn.
"He always takes the ball on the move, plays with his head up and possesses the full range of passes but with the feet and conviction to go it alone when it feels right. He absorbs attention and you can see defenders ball-watching when he is in possession which opens up opportunities and space for others.
"Having such a player in a key position is infectious, the kind of energy England have so lacked recently."
DID YOU KNOW? Smith picked up the game of rugby union at the age of seven with Centaurs RFC when his family moved to Singapore from the Philippines
#3. Sam Simmonds for Billy Vunipola
- Position: Number 8
- Replaces: Billy Vunipola
Certainly past his best, Jones has hinted that Vunipola will have to earn his place to play for England again with Alex Dombrandt and Sam Simmonds both gunning for the number 8 shirt.
WOODWARD SAID: “I also want the sheer gas and dynamism of Sam Simmonds at No 8. He’s the best player in the Premiership right now.
"Eddie Jones will have to really work out what he wants from his No 8s going forward as he sorts out the talent available."
DID YOU KNOW? After graduating through their academy, Simmonds made his Exeter Chiefs debut in November 2012
