Christian Wade voted as one of England's biggest wastes of talent

The 31-year-old is slated to feature for French giants Racing 92 in a sevens tournament on Saturday, nearly four years on from his last rugby appearance.

It is rumoured that the Top 14 side are looking for a medical joker and wing Wade could be an ideal addition to their squad as they prepare for 2022/23.

Winning just one cap for England, Wade is viewed by many as someone who didn't fulfil his full potential with the national side.

The 2013 British & Irish Lion quit Wasps in order to pursue a lucrative career in the NFL, having grown disillusioned with rugby union. The 29-year-old was one of the most recognised names in the domestic game, but his continued absence from the international set-up – having won just one England cap on the 2013 tour of Argentina – had left him frustrated and fed up of continuously being overlooked. What a waste.

The playmaker was the beating heart of that splendid Wasps side in the early 2000's who won a hat-trick of Premiership titles and two Heineken Cups. After his successes in conducting a back line on the field, he later turned his accomplished hand to conducting from the coaches' box, most recently joining Gloucester after stints with Clermont, Northampton, Montpellier and Wales.

In a different life the flanker would have amassed over 50 caps, but due to his decision to play his rugby in the Top 14 he'll end his career with five. Even though Armitage has won three European titles with Toulon and a European Player of the Year award, he has not played for England since 2010.

The speedster was always a fan favourite and narrowly missed out on selection for the 2003 World Cup, despite being involved in the all-conquering England team of the 2002 Autumn Internationals. Although heralded as a potential world-class wing, injury constantly blighted his career and he ended his career with a pitiful 10 caps.

After making his England debut in the 2008 Six Nations, Danny Cipriani appeared to have the rugby world at his feet. The then-21-year-old produced a magnificent display as England thumped Ireland 33-10; surely England had found the heir apparent for legend Jonny Wilkinson.

Sadly this was not the case as controversy after controversy followed, meaning despite his incredible talent ,the 32-year-old has accumulated just 16 caps.
