World Cup winner’s son headlines England hopefuls who impressed in the Prem this weekend 

is making waves of his own. Jack Bracken — son of 2003 champion Kyran — grabbed two tries in a brilliant display as Saracens ran riot.

From a World Cup winner’s son making his mark to seasoned internationals reminding everyone of their class, these seven English hopefuls shone brightest.

As close to a perfect 10/10 as you’ll see from a player on the losing side. Ford scored two drop goals — the second an absolute stunner — and pulled the strings beautifully throughout.

Despite Sale’s defeat, his control, vision, and tactical kicking were pure class. Surely the frontrunner to wear the No.10 jersey when the Autumn Internationals kick off.

A true captain’s performance from the Bath scrum-half. In tricky conditions, Spencer’s box kicks were inch-perfect — whether clearing his lines, setting up attacks, or even pulling out a cheeky grubber.

He added a stunning 50:22, nailed all four conversions, and capped off a Player of the Match display by setting up Ojomoh’s late try to secure the bonus point. Class and composure personified.

A performance that screamed “I’m back.” Lawrence looked electric, assisting Arundell for the opener and terrorising Sale’s defence with his footwork, power, and line-running.

His looping break helped set up Obano’s try, and his physicality in contact showed why he remains such a vital option in England’s midfield picture.

Owen Farrell might have grabbed the headlines on his StoneX return, but it was the rampaging Willis who stole the show.

Dominant with ball in hand and relentless in defence, the England No.8 led from the front in Saracens’ 50–17 rout of Bristol. His carries constantly put Sarries on the front foot — a statement performance from a man knocking hard on England’s door.

Confident under the high ball, razor-sharp in attack, and full of energy, the young winger looks every bit a star in the making. The Bracken name is back in lights.

An impactful return for the England lock. Chessum brought his trademark physicality and work rate, punching holes in the defensive line and adding real bite to Tigers’ pack. A reminder of how important he’ll be when Borthwick selects his next squad.

Arundell’s dream start at Bath continued with his third try of the season — a blistering burst down the left wing that combined raw pace, power, and balance. He was solid under the high ball and a constant menace to Sale’s defence. With Borthwick watching from the stands, Arundell picked the perfect night to deliver another statement performance.
