HALFBACKS:

  • 10. Marcus Smith (Harlequins)
  • 9. Raffi Quirke (Sale Sharks)

McGeechan wrote: “We should not forget that Smith also has a very good understanding with Alex Dombrandt, who can operate inside and outside him as attacks evolve.”

FRONT-ROW:

  • 1. Joe Marler (Harlequins)
  • 2. Jamie George (Saracens)
  • 3. Kyle Sinckler (Bristol Bears)

McGeechan wrote: “As for the pack, England and Smith will be looking for ball-carriers to carry off second and third phase in all positions. The front row could be Joe Marler at loosehead, plus Jamie George at hooker and Kyle Sinckler at tighthead.”
