2 Elliot Daly
Elliot Daly’s performance against Italy suggested he may no longer be operating at the highest international level. While he has been a valuable utility player and a loyal servant to England, his time in the white shirt appears to be nearing its end, particularly with him now aged 33.
Recalled for the match in Rome, he struggled to make an impact. EPS contracts are intended for the country’s top performers, and Daly no longer seems to fit that category.
3 George Martin
There are some advantages to keeping George Martin on an EPS contract, particularly in terms of coordinating injury management between club and country. However, his prolonged spell on the sidelines raises questions about whether it represents good value.
The lock, who is set to join Saracens from Leicester Tigers, still has clear potential, but he may need to re-establish himself on the field before being awarded another EPS contract.
