HALFBACKS:
- 10. Marcus Smith (Harlequins)
- 9. Harry Randall (Bristol Bears)
Woodward wrote: “Ben Youngs can’t go on for ever. He was OK last week and he is still international class, but we need to know about Randall at some stage and Raffi Quirke below him. Scrum-half is such an important position, you need two or three tried and tested operators there. And Youngs needs to know that he is under serious pressure for his starting spot.”
FRONT-ROW:
- 1. Ellis Genge (Leicester Tigers)
- 2. Luke Cowan-Dickie (Exeter Chiefs) for Jamie George
- 3. Kyle Sinckler (Bristol Bears) for Will Stuart
