The Premier League's Six Nations XV - a rugby team made up of top-flight footballers

 like a rugby player too.

15. Fullback - Ederson (Manchester City):The full-back is responsible for acting as the last line of defence and sweeping up any hopeful punts downfield. They need to be comfortable with both their hands and feet, and join attacking moves when the opportunity presents itself. It's basically what Ederson does already.

14. Winger - Jamie Vardy (Leicester City): Surprisingly quick and runs all day. Also - and we can't overstate the importance of this in the hypothetical rugby world - years of non-league football mean he's clearly learned how to handle himself.

13. Centre - Sead Kolasinac (Arsenal): Crash bell every single time. Also showed his balls when he took on two attackers during attempted car-jacking last summer. There's a reason he is referred by fans as the "The Destroyer", "The Tank", or "The Bosnian Hulk".

In rugby, the 12 tend to be a big fella with safe hands. He can also crash through people with the ball in hand 

and knock opponents over when required. Step forward the toons 6ft 3in reliable goalkeeper.

11. Winger - Adama Traore (Wolves): One word: SPEED. The winger would probably do more damage with a rugby ball than a football, considering his terrifying pace and strong running. His final product probably needs work, but if you create space for this guy and just tell this guy to run past a line, he could do it. 

Rugby player he kind of reminds me of: Anthony Watson (England) 

10. Fly-half - Kevin de Bruyne (Manchester City):A fly half needs to be a good footballer, so it makes sense to give the No. 10 jersey to the Premier League's most-accomplished playmaker.

9. Scrum-half - Phil Foden (Manchester City): OK, so Man City's little English wizard doesn't exactly look like a rugby player. But scrum-halves are essentially little freaks of nature. Typically, they're tiny men with fearless, big hearts whose main job is to keep passing and maintain a tempo of play.See? Just like Foden.

1 .Loosehead prop -Xherdan Shaqiri (Liverpool): The man is a cube. A power cube. A fridge of a person. He put Romelu Lukaku on his backside once. That's not easy to do. Especially when you're 5ft 5.

Rugby player he kind of reminds me of: Ellis Genge (England)

2. Hooker - Andrew Robertson (Liverpool): The flying Scotsman, Robertson had to fit in somewhere. Seeing as the fullback has got so much experience of taking throw-ins, he can play hooker and chuck the ball into the lineout.

Rugby player he kind of reminds me of: Stuart McInally (Scotland)

3. Tighthead-prop - Troy Deeney (Watford): "I've got a big head and teeth like a shark. So what? It is what it is."

That's precisely the sort of unflinching attitude we need in our front row, which is why Deeney is the first name on the teamsheet.

4. Lock - Dan Burn (Newcastle): At 6ft 7in, Burn is one of the tallest players in the Premier League, so is being selected as our primary jumper in the line-out. Like a skinnier, Geordie version of George Kruis

Rugby player he kind of reminds me of: Devin Toner (Ireland).

5. Lock - Tyrone Mings (Aston Villa): Tall, physical and great in the air - the centre-back is a the perfect second row. He's also in a football sense, often plays

Rugby player he kind of reminds me of: Maro Itoje (England)

6. Flanker - N'Golo Kante (Chelsea): The No.6 position on the rugby pitch, otherwise known as the blindside flanker, does a lot of the grunt work for the team. He will often top the tackle count for a game, sometimes going completely unnoticed in games – but you certainly notice when he isn’t on the pitch. Kante fits this role well.

Rugby player he kind of reminds me of: Hamish Watson (Scotland)

7. Flanker - Harry Maguire (Manchester United_ - The number 7 is often one of the fittest players on a rugby pitch, but generally boasts every physical and mental attribute you could possibly need. And all in one express package. Maguire's size and power is obvious, but he'd need to put that into effect in order to excel.

Rugby player he kind of reminds me of: Justin Tipuric (Wales)

8. Number eight - Virgil Van Dijk (Liverpool):Our number eight must possess both brains and brawn. They need to be strong enough to make a big impact in defence and skilful enough to receive the ball anywhere on the pitch. He has the calm head and leadership qualities which are essential
