#3. JOE SIMPSON – ENGLAND
Scrum half
Jones said: “Well England seem to have a lot of good young half-backs at the moment with Danny Care and now Joe Simpson in the 20s. Simpson reminds me a lot of Matt Dawson, he is always looking for the hole around the ruck and particularly in the tournament he really tested all the ruck defence.

Where is he now? Signed a short-term deal with Sale Sharks following a tough couple of years with Gloucester. He won his one and only cap during the pool stage of the 2011 Rugby World Cup.
