The 2024 Six Nations tournament is looming, and England’s head coach, Steve Borthwick, is facing the prospect of being deprived of a minimum of 10 players from his 2023 Rugby World Cup squad.
#1. Courtney Lawes
What a remarkable farewell performance from the Northampton forward, who is set to bid adieu to Test rugby following the World Cup. In this Rugby World Cup, Lawes showcased the epitome of his physical prowess, intimidation factor, and tactical brilliance.
#2. Ben Youngs
The highly seasoned Leicester half-back must have felt deeply disappointed not to have played a more prominent role, yet he couldn’t unseat either of the other scrum-halves during critical junctures. Undoubtedly an England legend, but it’s time to shift the spotlight to emerging talents like Harry Randall or Raffia Quirke.
