SECOND-ROW:
- 4. Maro Itoje (England)
- 5. James Ryan (Ireland)
“What about my captain? It is between Farrell and Itoje. It is such a close call. Both are definite starters (Farrell will be at 12 if not 10) and it makes perfect sense for an Englishman to be captain because most of the squad is likely to be English. I think it will be Farrell but, if I were making the decision, I would pick Itoje.”
BACK-ROW:
- 6. Tom Curry (England)
- 7. Sam Underhill (England)
- 8. Taulupe Faletau (Wales)
