Four England stars who could swap countries during the Autumn

These four players may have represented England in recent years – but they could find themselves pulling on a different international jersey during the upcoming Autumn internationals.

#1. George McGuigan(England to Ireland)

Overlooked by Eddie Jones in favour of his relatively inexperienced understudy Jamie Blamire, the 28?-year-old should now be on Ireland boss Andy Farrell’s radar according to Fearns.

McGuigan did play for Ireland U18 and U20 before switching allegiance to play for England Saxons against South Africa in 2”16. 

Arguably the best line-out thrower in the Premiership today, he is of an international standard and worth having a look at.
