1 Soane Tonga’uiha

Part of a magnificent Saints front row that gave us a platform. Huge scrummager who ensured our pack never went into reverse.

2 Dylan Hartley

Leadership qualities he brings for Saints and England are second to none and his set-piece stats are right up there. Nails his lineouts and very good in the scrum.
