The players you’d forgotten were named in Englands’ World Cup training squad four years ago

6. Ed Slater

He failed to win a cap as he faced stiff competition from Dave Attwood, Maro Itoje, George Kruis, Courtney Lawes, Joe Launchbury and Geoff Parling. After making his way into Eddie Jones’ plans at the beginning of 2016 though, he was injured again and as yet has not made the extended squad since. Chances of going to the 2019 Rugby World Cup are very slim.

7. Stephen Myler

A one-cap wonder. It was bit of a shock when he made the squad with Danny Cipriani, George Ford and Owen Farrell filling the three other fly-half slots. Now playing in the Championship with London Irish, he’s definitely not going to be involved in Eddie Jones’ training squad this summer.
