#3. Kyle Hatherell
- Age: 26
- Club: Worcester Warriors
- Position: Back-row
Telegraph: “Born and raised in South Africa, Hatherell, who has come from nowhere to be in contention, can play at blindside, No 8 and in the second row. “
“He is a typical, abrasive South African blindside flanker,” Alan Solomons, the Worcester director of rugby, said.
“I am aware of the fact that he is being considered for the broader England squad. I think they like that abrasiveness and physicality. Having him in the squad with the quality of coaching England have will be hugely beneficial for him.”
Potential: Hard-working forward
