#5. Will Evans – Harlequins
He joined Harlequins from Leicester Tigers for the 2019/20 season.
The flanker enjoyed a stellar rise in the closing stages of the 2015/16 season, making his senior debut for Leicester Tigers against Gloucester. He went on to make 26 appearances for Leicester, eight as a starter.
A standout for England at youth level, Evans was named in the U20 World Championship Dream Team in 2016. He was a member of England’s senior EPS squad of 45 back in 2016 at the tender age of 19.
Evans made 21 appearances in his debut season with Harlequins and added a further 16 in his second season in the club where he finished the Premiership season with more turnovers (29) than anyone other player.
Injury denied him a chance to feature in the Premiership Final for Harlequins, but the flanker played a pivotal role in their journey to the showpiece event.
