#2. Ollie Chessum
It’s easy to spot the towering 6ft 7in figure of Chessum on the pitch.
The powerhouse forward rapidly climbed through the ranks of Leicester’s academy before moving on to Championship club Nottingham for a brief spell.
He now finds himself playing a pivotal role in the Tigers side and the 22-year-old lock has been rewarded with a place in Steve Borthwick’s squad for the 2023 Guinness Six Nations.
Woodward wrote: “Second-row Chessum is still relatively new on the international scene but delivered a big statement.”
