Saracens – Maro Itoje
Maro Itoje is the beating heart of Saracens and one of the most respected forwards in world rugby. He recently reached 100 international Test caps, underlining his enduring excellence. Whether it’s lineouts, ruck work, or inspirational defence, Itoje leads from the front with relentless intensity.
At 30, he’s still very much at the peak of his powers—an icon for club and country who continues to set the standard.
Gloucester – Tomos Williams
With Santiago Carreras now at Bath, Gloucester’s talisman is undoubtedly Tomos Williams. Appointed club captain ahead of the new season, the Welsh scrum-half brings sharp attacking instincts and veteran composure.
Injuries have slowed him at times, but when fit, Williams is integral to Gloucester’s tempo and flair. His leadership is just as important as his playmaking, especially in a side chasing that elusive return to the top four.
Bristol Bears – Ellis Genge
Ellis Genge is a force of nature in Bristol’s pack. While props rarely get the limelight, Genge demands attention with his thunderous carries and no-nonsense attitude. The England and Lions loosehead brings energy, bite, and a winning mentality to the Bears. In a team full of attacking flair, it’s Genge who sets the tone up front.
