2. Luke Cowan-Dickie

3. Kyle Sinckler

“I am a massive fan of Harry Williams but there can only be one person wearing the No3 jersey.”

5. Courtney Lawes

“Lawes has been phenomenal for Northampton – I mean truly phenomenal. Ripping up teams, destroying driving lineout mauls, stealing lineouts, carrying and offloading.”

6. Tom Curry

“Extraordinary athlete. Curry is part made of granite, part bamboo.”
