#BACK-ROW:
Tom Curry
Sam Underhill
Courtney Lawes
Lewis Ludlam
Billy Vunipola
Alex Dombrandt
Brown wrote: “This is probably where England have the most depth. Billy Vunipola suits the way England play. He has been behind Sam Underhill and Alex Dombrandt but the jersey is his to lose. It’s tough to see Sam Simmonds getting in the squad when all three are fit.

“Courtney Lawes has been unbelievable this season. Tom Curry and Sam Underhill have always been nailed on and Lewis Ludlam has played his way in.”
#HALFBACKS:
JVP
Ben Young
Raffi Quirke
Marcus Smith
Owen Farrell
Brown wrote: “No one is getting in over Marcus Smith and Owen Farrell.
“If they decide to take a third No 10 then George Ford will come back in, but there’s no point having him in to hold tackle bags. They’re more likely to have a utility guy like George Furbank to provide cover.
“It was really tough to see Danny Care hooked in the first half. He’s a world-class player and I hope he bounces back, but it has given Ben Youngs the edge.
“You can see shades of Richard Wigglesworth and Youngs in Jack van Poortvliet with his game management and kicking accuracy, but he also has the running threat too. Raffi Quirke is another guy I’m a fan of.”
