Some of the country’s most iconic institutions are represented as we rank the England starting XV by who went to the most expensive school...
Five players; Luke Cowan-Dickie, Tom Curry, Courtney Lawes, Kyle Sinckler and Jonny Hill all went to state schools.
However, there is still though a strong public school spine to England's team, as there always has been.
Make of that what you will but the statistics make for interesting reading.

- Jordie Barrett over Damian de Allende is far from being correct. The hype around Dupont is also overreaching, he's probably 4th in the world and has been since the 2023 WC. He also avoids certain matchups which is strange. The rest of the list is pretty good apart from minor subjective biases.JasonMarlow16-09-2026
