BACK-THREE:

  • 15. Tom de Glanville (Bath RFC)

CENTRES:

  • 13. Henry Slade (Exeter Chiefs)
  • 12. Owen Farrell (Saracens)

BROWN SAID: “Slade has got the natural ability that we associate with All Blacks. Farrell showed against Wales what he can do as second receiver, bringing outside backs into the game and off-loading when taking the line on himself.”
