1. Fin Baxter \u2013 continues to grow<\/p>\n
Scrummaged well against Australia. The Quins prop is learning fast and looks increasingly comfortable in the shirt.<\/p>\n
2. Jamie George (VC) \u2013 leader of men<\/p>\n
Lineout accuracy, leadership, and reliability \u2014 still the heartbeat of the pack.<\/p>\n
3. Joe Heyes \u2013 solid in the set-piece<\/p>\n
Unspectacular but improving every outing. Has earned another start.<\/p>\n
4. Maro Itoje (C) \u2013 captain<\/p>\n
Back to his world-class best. Relentless work rate, leadership presence, and the glue holding the pack together.<\/p>\n
5. Ollie Chessum \u2013 ever dependable<\/p>\n
Does the unseen work that wins matches \u2014 brilliant in contact and set-piece.<\/p>\n
6. Guy Pepper \u2013 full of energy<\/p>\n
A tireless tackler who gives England edge at the breakdown. His work rate will be key against Fiji\u2019s offloading game.<\/p>\n
7. Henry Pollock \u2013 replaces Sam Underhill<\/p>\n
The call everyone wanted. After scoring off the bench vs Australia, Pollock gets his chance from the start. Brings pace, aggression, and raw hunger.<\/p>\n
8. Ben Earl \u2013 undroppable<\/p>\n
Still England\u2019s standout performer. Relentless, explosive, and England\u2019s best carrier by a distance.<\/p>\n
