How many of these names do you remember pulling on the famous white England shirt?!...

#1. Jack Maunder - Won one cap in 2017

On 20 April 2017, Eddie Jones named Maunder in a 31-man squad for the summer tour of Argentina. The talented scrum-half then made his debut in the first test against Argentina, coming on for Danny Care in the 77th minute to create the winning try in Santa Fe .
Maunder was then selected for Eddie Jones' pre-season England training squad, but hasn't really had a look in since.

#2. Darren Crompton: Won one cap in 2007

Crompton was selected for the tour of South Africa at the age of 34, nine years after his first senior England tour, as a result of his form in the Premiership. Thus, the tighthead was able to win his full England cap when he took to the field during the first Test against the Springboks in Bloemfontein as a replacement for Stuart Turner on 26 May 2007.

He was called up to the full England side for their summer tour to South Africa in 2007, earning his first and only cap as a replacement during the first test against the Springboks on 26 May 2007.
