Five Championship players who really should be in the Premiership

To say that the winger has been in sparkling form since joining the Blues from Ampthill in 2014 would be one of the biggest understatements ever!

At the close of the 2017/18 Championship season, Adamson proudly had stats of 60 tries from 85 games in a Blues jersey and was deservedly named in the Championship Dream Team.

Stepped down to the Championship to join London Irish after leaving Northampton Saints. Myler, the third-highest Premiership points scorer of all time, could still be playing in the top flight but will instead try and help Irish plot another return to the top flight after relegation last season.

Arguably the best counter-attacking full-back in the league with his pace and ability to spot a gap. Punches above his weight in defence too.

The incredibly hard-working player whose worth to the team knows no bounds. Maddison, who joined the Exiles from Ealing in the summer, has all the attributes you want from a second row: he is good in the set-piece, carries hard, makes his tackles and has excellent game understanding.

The Canada international fly-half has quickly shown himself to be a quality playmaker and goalkicker since first crossing the Atlantic in 2017. The fly-half is the leading scorer in the division thus far with 102 - and has shown he has all the abilities necessary to step up to the top level.
