Sir Clive Woodward has revealed what he thinks would be Eddie Jones strongest XV heading into the Six Nations?

BACK-THREE:

Freddie Steward, Max Malins and Adam Radwan

Woodward wrote: "Steward is a fearless giant who commands the airway but also has the football skills the modern day full back requires."

CENTRES:

Henry Slade and Manu Tuilagi

Woodward wote: "Slade is becoming the midfield fulcrum and boss for England"

HALFBACKS:

Marcus Smith and Raffi Quirke

Woodward wrote: "Smith is the real deal, a major talent and goal kicker of the first rank with nerves of steel. Quirke looks a real handful."

SECOND-ROW:

Maro Itoje and Courtney Lawes

Woodward wrote: "Courtney Lawes had a fine series and led by example when asked to captain the side, Maro Itoje roamed to good effect as usual and the back row were tackling machines."
