“Remember That?” – 10 England Players You Totally Forgot Played in the Six Nations

7. Ollie Devoto (1 Cap – 2016 Six Nations)

Exeter Chiefs centre Ollie Devoto has been a household name at Sandy Park, since his arrival in 2016. Devoto began his career at Bath, and gained additional experience on loan at Cornish Pirates before making the move to join the Chiefs. Devoto was first called up into the England squad for the 2016 Six Nations, and he made his debut of the bench, as Eddie Jones’ side defeated Wales 27-13. Devoto would go on to receive another call-up into the squad for the 2019 Championships, yet was unsused amongst the wider training group.


8. Ben Moon (4 Caps – 2019 Six Nations)

Exeter Chiefs prop Ben Moon had a firecracker of an international run, with all of his eight test match caps coming throughout the 2018/19 season. Moon made his England debut against South Africa, before playing in subsequent Autumn Nations matches against New Zealand, Australia and Japan. The loose-head the carried this momentum into the 2019 Six Nations, where he was a prominent feature of the England pack. Moon started against Wales and Scotland, and made off the bench caps against France and Italy. Then all of a sudden following the tournament, Moon was out of the England fold and not been back since.


9. Tom Dunn (1 Cap – 2020 Six Nations)

Career-long Bath hooker Tom Dunn is a staple of the blue, black and white’s front row. The 2017/18 season was an exceptionally promising one for Dunn, who earned himself a call-up into Eddie Jones’ squad for the 2018 Six Nations. However, Dunn would go unused in the squad, and would next return to the competition for the pandemic-delayed 2020 tournament. After waiting the best part of six months due to the lockdown, the 2020 Six Nations was finalised, with Dunn making his debut against Italy, as an off the bench replacement.


10. Ollie Thorley (1 Cap – 2020 Six Nations)

With over a century of Gloucester caps to his name, Ollie Thorley has long been a fan favourite at Kingsholm, with the Cherry and White faithful lifted off their feet every time he gets the ball. A talented wing with the versatility to play along either touchline, Thorley came through the Gloucester ranks under the tutelage of England’s second-best try scorer Jonny May. Thorley was called into the England squad for the 2020 Six Nations, and was handed his test debut and sole cap so far, in the walkover win against Italy.
