“Two world-class players” – Telegraph rank England’s FIVE best current players

#4. Henry Slade

  • Age: 28
  • Position: Centre
  • Club: Exeter Chiefs

They said: “The next cab on the rank. When the 28-year-old Exeter centre fires as he did against South Africa last year or Ireland in 2019 he is red hot.”

RUCK’s verdict: It’s hard to imagine that Slade will get that much better than he is now. Looks much more comfortable at 13.
