#4. Maro Itoje
Renowned as one of the game’s fiercest competitors, Itoje stands tall among rugby’s elite.
A natural winner, Itoje’s performances consistently reach heights of excellence, rarely dipping below an eight out of ten rating.
Despite facing scrutiny stemming from his early-career accomplishments, he continues to assert his place as a guaranteed starter for England in our view.
#5. Ben Earl
In the 2024 Six Nations, Earl emerged as England’s standout player of the tournament. His impact was never more evident than in England’s stunning victory over Ireland.
Earl’s contributions were unmatched, leading the pack with an impressive 73 carries throughout the Guinness Men’s Six Nations, and topping the charts for carry metres (419), metres in contact (127), and defenders beaten (24) among forwards.
