#2. Alex Mitchell
Already England’s starting playmaker, his position in the team is only made safer by Danny Care’s recent international retirement.
In 2023, Mitchell answered the call to join Steve Borthwick’s Rugby World Cup squad, stepping in seamlessly as an injury substitute for Jack van Poortvliet. Since then, he’s firmly secured his place as England’s starting scrum-half.
Renowned for his standout performances, Mitchell shone brightly during the tournament, becoming one of England’s top performers. The undeniable truth is that England noticeably feels the void when Mitchell isn’t in action.
#3. Jamie George
Arguably the epitome of consistency for England, the captain continues to be the linchpin of the team, often the first name penned onto the team sheet.
It’s essential to acknowledge and commend his leadership, which has played a pivotal role in England’s rejuvenation under the guidance of Steve Borthwick.
