SECOND-ROW:
- 4. Maro Itoje (England)
- 5. Tadhg Beirne (Ireland)
Hartley said: ““For everyone wondering where Alun Wyn Jones is, and he’s the back-up to Mr Maro Itoje. They’re both workhorses. They’re both annoyingly good workhorses. So if one of them gets injured or you want to bring a like-for-like on, they’re very similar grafting players.”
BACK-ROW:
- 6. Tom Curry (England)
- 7. Hamish Watson (Scotland)
- 8. Taulupe Faletau (Wales)
