Number 8: Taulupe Faletau (Wales)
Telfer said: “This was a relatively easy one for me as I am not a Billy Vunipola fan. England number eights tend to bash the ball up but when Faletau’s picks and goes you always think something will happen. I would back him up with the dynamic Englishman Sam Simmonds and perhaps even Zach Mercer, another intelligent player who starts at eight ahead of Faletau for Bath most weeks, with the Welshman wearing six.”
