Leicester boss Steve Borthwick is set to be confirmed as the new England head coach, with an announcement expected in the coming days.
The 43-year-old has been the overwhelming favourite for the role since Eddie Jones was sacked earlier in December.
The former England captain's first match in charge will be the Six Nations opener against Scotland on 4 February.
Below, we look at five experienced players who are reportedly set to be dropped by Borthwick as he looks to establish a 'new and exciting' squad for the 2023 Six Nations.
We look at how they rated for the four Autumn Nations Series matches that ultimately cost Eddie Jones his job:
