Three players who made their England debut before their Premiership bow

3. Ben Te’o

Born in New Zealand to an English mother, Te’o spent seven years playing Rugby League before switching codes in 2014. The powerhouse centre became one of Leinster’s star players in 2015/16, helping them reach the Pro 12 final and was named the club’s Player of the Year.

Having agreed a move to Worcester, he was subsequently called up to Eddie Jones’ England squad to tour Australia in the summer of 2016. He’d go onto make just a dozen appearances with four tries in his first season at Sixways.
