#3. Ben Earl (England)
- Age: 24
- Club: Saracens
- Position: Flanker
The best player during the Gallagher Premiership during the 2022/23 season, England boss Jones’ latest snub of the back-rower can be seen as nothing but disrespectful. Earl would have added some ball-carrying to the back row options with Sam Simmonds and Alex Dombrandt injured. Reports suggest the Aussie doesn’t think Earl is big enough for international rugby.
