#2. George Ford
- Age: 29
- Caps: 76
Ford has been a mainstay in Eddie Jones’ England teams since the Australian took over as head coach in 2016 and has already won 77 caps for his country at the age of 28.
The Leicester Tigers fly-half has mostly played with Owen Farrell outside him at 12, although he has been dropped to the bench on occasion to allow Farrell to slot into the 10 jersey.
Marcus Smith has long been backed as England’s long-term solution at fly-half, and should that prove to be the case, Ford may find game time hard to come by.
Potential replacements: Marcus Smith (Harlequins), Jacob Umaga (Wasps)
