SECOND-ROW:
- 4. Maro Itoje (Sarcens)
- 5. Courtney Lawes (Northampton Saints)
BACK-ROW:
- 6. Tom Curry (Sale Sharks)
- 7. Sam Underhill (Bath Rugby)
- 8. Sam Simmonds (Exeter Chiefs)
Woodward said: “I’m very clear on my back row. Underhill and Curry, with Simmonds at 8. Simmonds is the most explosive and the fastest. I don’t care who wears which number. You start with your best team. I like Dombrandt but he would be on the bench.”
