Six uncapped players putting their hand up for England selection

Six uncapped players putting their hand up for England selection

5. Ed Slater

The Gloucester lock doesn’t have on his side but he’s been in great form. He brings a physicality to the gain-line, both as a carrier and a tackler, rarely going backwards in the collision. He will also always put in a tireless shift in defence.


6. Zach Mercer

Mercer scored two tries and carried with real venom all afternoon for Todd Blackadder’s side. And in a game against Harlequins that finished up being decided by the smallest of margins, it was the 21-year-old Mercer who took the plaudits. He’s quickly turning into a player who’ll be pushing for senior caps.
