Antoine Claassen

Making his France debut against England in 2013, Claassen has since gone on to win six Test Caps for Les Bleus.

He also previously played Super Rugby for the Bulls earlier in his career.
Jamie George
Position: Prop
Current Club: Saracens
Honours: England, England U20
Saracens hooker George has developed significantly over the last year, making his England bow against France in a World Cup warm-up following Saracens Premiership final success against Bath.
George was then included in England’s RWC squad at the expense of Dylan Hartley, who somewhat ironically was axed from the squad following a four-week ban for head butting George during Saracens’ Premiership semi-final victory on 23 May.
He would only appear in England’s final game against Uruguay.

Honours: England, British and Irish Lions
Rugby World Cup winner Greenwood was a vital part of the England team that hoisted the Webb Ellis Cup in 2003.
The centre was a hugely dangerous presence in any midfield, with an uncanny knack for crossing the whitewash as he scored 34 tries in 96 games for Harlequins and Leicester.
He also touched down an incredible 31 tries in 55 games for England.
