#1. Joe Cokanasiga
The 24-year-old powerhouse winger, once tipped to be the 'next Jonah Lomu', is just what England need. In two replacement appearances since recovering from another knee injury, Cokanasiga has scored three tries as his club have emerged from a slump. He will almost certainly return to the international fold if he can stay fit.

#2. Manu Tuilagi
Arguably the player England missed most during yet another disappointing Six Nations campaign. Eddie Jones sorely missed his physicality and direct running in midfield, tellingly utilising the prop Ellis Genge as their primary ball carrier against France.

#3. Owen Farrell
England captain Farrell plays for the first time since injuring his ankle in November as Saracens host Bristol at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium this weekend. The 30-year-old had been set to return in January but was ruled out of the Six Nations after injuring his other ankle - which required surgery - while training with Saracens. Jones has already indicated that his captain will come straight back into the fold.

#4. Raffi Quirke
With
Ben Youngs unlikely to travel to Australia it seems likely that Quirke will be recalled following his impressive cameo appearances during the Autumn Nations Series.
