Despite not currently being in Eddie Jones plans, these five players boosted their chances of getting a call-up for the 2022 Six Nations with stellar performances this weekend.

#1. George Ford (Leicester Tigers)

Leicestershire Live: "It was a performance for the ages from the England international. His kicks maneuvered the Bordeaux’s back three throughout the game putting them under constant pressure."

#3. Fraser Dingwall (Northampton Saints)

Northampton Chronicle & Echo: "Created a try for Courtnall Skosan with a brilliant piece of improvisation and execution, and also grabbed a score of his own as he desperately tried to drive his team forward..."

#4. Jamal Ford-Robinson (Gloucester)

Gloucestershire Live: "The loosehead prop had one of the finest games of his Gloucester career as he helped to repeatedly reverse up the big Lyon pack with a fine display of powerful and technical scrummaging."

#5. Tommy Reffell (Leicester Tigers)

Leicestershire Live: "Made more metres (19) and tackles (16) than any other Leicester Tigers player as well as adding his customary turnover penalty win at a breakdown. He looked a carrying threat in the first half and chased a chip through well in the second. Reffell’s industry was at the heart of this win."
