Danny Cipriani has chosen his preferred England backline that Eddie Jones SHOULD pick moving forward with Jonny May and Owen Farrell both missing out.

BACK-THREE:

15. Freddie Steward (Leicester Tigers) - Cipriani wrote in his column for the Mail Online: "Everybody at Leicester has been raving about Steward for a while and I would like to think England are as excited at his exceptional attacking potential as well as his towering presence under the high ball, for which he is best known."

14. Max Malins (Saracens)
Cipriani said: "I've gone for Malins on the left wing because most teams have right-footed kickers, so he can work on the pendulum with Steward, who should start at full back."
11. Adam Radwan (Newcastle Falcons)
Cipriani said: "Radwan on the other wing, but you need to give him licence. He's that type of explosive athlete who can do something from nothing. I think Radwan will explode into the international game"


CENTRE:

13. Henry Slade (Exeter Chiefs)
Cipriani said: "Henry has started the season on fire too, though. Farrell can play at 12 but is he going to overshadow Marcus? It has to be clear Marcus is running the show as the 10."

HALFBACKS:

10. Marcus Smith (Harlequins)
Cipriani said: "It's tough on Owen Farrell because he has started the season so well but Smith has picked up from where he left off last season."
9. Harry Randall (Bristol Bears)
CIpriani said: "I'm going for Harry Randall at nine because of the speed he plays at. He reads the game quickly and he's the most similar option to Danny Care."
