Each of these players have made their full England debut under Eddie Jones and then… that’s about it at international level

1. Ted Hill

The talented Worcester back row was then called up to the full England squad for the 2018 autumn internationals and made his England debut against Japan in November at the age of only 19.
England Head Coach Jones included Hill in his Elite Player Squad for the 2020 Six Nations. The 20-year-old has now become a first-team regular at Sixways and could definitely go onto become a regular for England in the years to come.

2. Jack Maunder

On 20 April 2017, Eddie Jones named Maunder in a 31-man squad for the summer tour of Argentina. The talented scrum-half then made his debut in the first test against Argentina, coming on for Danny Care in the 77th minute to create the winning try in Santa Fe .
Maunder was then selected for Eddie Jones' pre-season England training squad, but hasn't really had a look in since. He now finds himself linked with a move away from Exeter after falling out of favour.

3. Tommy Taylor

The Wasps hooker was called up to England's 2016 Six Nations Championship squad on 13 March 2016 as injury cover for Jamie George and would make his England debut that Spring as a replacement against Wales on 29 May 2016.
However, he didn't play much rugby in the two years that followed with his career being badly affected by knee and shoulder injuries. The 28-year-old, who re-joins Sale Sharks this summer, has since got his career back on track, but has struggled to get himself back into the England reckoning.

4. Ollie Thorley

You would hope that Thorley wouldn't be on this list for long. However, after making his long-awaited debut against Italy last October he lost his place to Jonathan Joseph before being dropped completely. His poor form with Gloucester also suggests he won't be getting a recall anytime soon.

5&6. Beno Obano and George Martin

Eddie Jones two deburants from the 2021 Six Nations will be hoping to be involved this summer, and as a result escape the one-cap club.
