RUCK readers have had their say on how England should line up for the Autumn Nations Series - with Adam Radwan and Louis Lynagh BOTH making the cut.
Creativity and youth is in abundance in the fan-voted XV with Saracens trio Owen Farrell and the Vunipola brothers, Billy and Mako, both missing out entirely.
Farrell, who is currently England captain, will reportedly not lead his country this Autumn with Maro Itoje and Tom Curry tipped to lead the men in white.
Straight into the second-row with 92.1% of the vote was Itoje, who was the first name on the team-sheet for many. Kyle Sinckler 87.4% and Curry 88.3% were also very popular picks.

- Jordie Barrett over Damian de Allende is far from being correct. The hype around Dupont is also overreaching, he's probably 4th in the world and has been since the 2023 WC. He also avoids certain matchups which is strange. The rest of the list is pretty good apart from minor subjective biases.JasonMarlow16-09-2026
