England legend Will Greenwood has called for head coach Eddie Jones to call up five 'outsiders' for the 2022 Six Nations.

#1. Alex Lozowski

  • Age: 28
  • Position: Fly-half/Centre
  • Club: Saracens
  • Curent caps: 5
Greenwood wrote: "The headlines around Lozowski are pretty compelling. He is extremely quick and his ability to go away from defenders in three or four quick paces is exceptional."

#2. Fitz Harding 

  • Age: 22
  • Position: Flanker
  • Club: Bristol Bears
  • Curent caps: 0
Greenwood wrote: " Throws himself into collisions with a frame that is giving away kilograms to his opponents. With this style and the longer, floppy blond hair and private-school education, you can’t help thinking of Lewis Moody."

#3. George Martin

  • Age: 20
  • Position: Second-row
  • Club: Leicester Tigers
  • Curent caps: 1
Greenwood wrote: "The ball is swamped by his bucket hands at lineouts and restarts. He’s a tough tackler, a seriously tough tackler. Carries bloody hard, his reverse-angle try against Falcons was like a bowling ball down the alley. Unstoppable. Raw, physical and ready to step up."

#4. Ollie Hassell-Collins

  • Age: 22
  • Position: Winger
  • Club: London Irish
  • Curent caps: 0
Greenwood wrote: "Hassell-Collins can add balance to an English backline if it is ever short of size. He covers the back-field well, he is strong under the high ball and backs himself on the counter-attack."

#5. Harry Wells

  • Age: 28
  • Position: Lock/Flanker
  • Club: Leicester Tigers
  • Curent caps: 1
Greenwood wrote: "Capped in the summer, Wells’ work rate is staggering and he has been at the heart of Tigers' re-emergence."
