Scrum-half: Jayden Hayward – New Zealand
- Hs a New Zealand-born rugby union Italian player currently playing for Benetton Rugby.
- The speedster obtained Italian citizenship and is now playing for Italy, making his test debut against Fiji at Catania on 11 November 2017.
- We had no scrum-halves so the winger is filling in
Prop: Mako Vunipola – England
- Born in Wellington to Tongan parents, he would live in New Zealand until he was nine.
- The British and Irish Lions prop dreamt of becoming an All Black and wearing the famous jersey just like his late idol, former All Blacks wing Jonah Lomu.
Hooker: Dylan Hartley – England
- Hartley was born in Kaharoa, a rural area between Rotorua and Tauranga. He went to Rotorua Boys’ High School where he began playing rugby alongside with former All Black loosie Liam Messam.
- Hartley grew up in New Zealand, but his mother was born in England meaning he qualified for them.
- He left for the UK when he was just 15, meaning he didn’t complete his final year at Rotorua Boys’ High.
