4. Franco Mostert (Gloucester)
“Great in the lineout, but his stats are phenomenal in terms of the amount of times he wins collisions.”
5. Will Skelton (Saracens)
“He’s become such a dynamic ball carrier after losing a bit of weight.”
6. Alex Dombrandt (Harlequins)
“As a powerful player in a breakthrough season, he’s right up there. His work-rate is exceptionally high.”
7. Tom Curry (Sale Sharks)
“He does everything well: ball carries, tackles, but he’s also the most natural English player at the breakdown that I’ve seen since Neil Back.”

8. Matt Kvesic (Exeter Chiefs)
